I don't think that anything was actually shot in Budapest. I recognized a lot of Viennese places (Apollo cinema, Vienna University, and others), but nothing from Budapest really. I suppose it was out of the question to get a permission to shoot that kind of movie in Hungary. The communist regime is not portrayed in a friendly manner at all. :-)
But the wrong scenery is not a negative, Vienna is beautiful and many old houses have similar styles than many old houses in Budapest. Even today, more so in 1960.
Besides the historic scenery, it's a rather usual good vs evil plot. Not very exciting.
