Directed by Cy Endfield under the name of Hugh Raker 'The Master Plan' is a mainly pedestrian movie about the leaking of military secrets at a part British, part American facility in Germany. A US major flies in specifically to assist a British colonel who is the head of security. The plot meanders this way and that but the last twenty minutes are quite suspenseful leading to the unmasking of the culprit.
It was based on a television play called 'Operation North Star'. Norman Wooland as the British Colonel and Wayne Morris as the American major are OK and the rest of the cast are....OK. A lot of stock music is used which adds no tension or excitement throughout most of the film. Not an ordeal to watch but lacking a bit of energy.
