Thanks to the comments here, I watched 5 Fingers and was patient until James Mason appeared. The "accents" of some of the other actors were a bit much for me at first. My patience was rewarded with an excellent film and story. James Mason was wonderful. Highly recommended, especially if you can ignore some of the more dated touches.
