The movie looked good in 'Techniscope' and 'Technicolor' and the outdoor locations In Germany, Austria and England were attractive but the narrative was rather dull and too much time is given to the romance between the Stephen Boyd and Camilla Sparv characters. Their scenes needed fast forwarding. Am not sure anyway what the story was about and the two plot twists at the end could be seen a country mile away. I did enjoy some of the acting; Leo McKern as the spy master, Jane Merrow as his comely assistant, Geoffrey Bayldon as the boffin and a disappointingly hardly seen Michael Redgrave as Harris of Department K. At no point did the film become exciting or gripping.
