    • Trivia
      At the end of the film Phillip Chance, played by John Justin, has taken his seat on a plane when a woman sits next to him. This is his real wife at the time, actress Barbara Murray.
    • Goofs
      Martin supposedly died six months earlier. Ruth says she married Martin in early June 1952, three weeks before his final flight. That would place the film's action in December 1952. However, the magazine Philip held on the plane at the start of the film was from 1954 and the telegram to John had a 1954 postmark.

    Intriguing Mystery
    Nice post-war British espionage mystery. Clever and wonderfully acted. Margaret Leighton super (of course), but whole cast top notch.
