The File on Devlin is a 1969 American TV film for the Hallmark Hall of Fame, and was directed by George Schaefer. It was based on a novel by Catherine Gaskin.
The novel was published in 1965.[1]
George Schaefer had just directed the feature film Pendulum. He called the film "an old fashioned spy story with a mysterious disappearance, an old castle, dark corridors and secret passages, great fun."[2]
Elizabeth Ashley made it after having been retired for five years.[3] Rehearsals started in July 1969,[4] and it was mostly shot in the studio with two days location.[2]
One review called it "a thriller that thrilled indifferently."[5] The New York Times called it "an overstuffed, improbable bit of claptrap without suspense, wit or intelligence."[6]
