Trivia
Colonel Price's house, where the majority of this movie is set, is The Edgwarebury Hotel. This is the same location as the Eaton's house in Paholaisen morsian (1968), also featuring Sir Christopher Lee.

Goofs
When Shane is speaking to Col. Price, Shane puts a spoon into his coffee cup as seen from a side angle. When shown from the front, Shane is holding the handle of the cup and the spoon is not in it. When the angle switches back to the side shot, the spoon is again in the coffee cup.

Quotes
Friederich Suderman: Did he have time to name one of us?
Colonel Price: No. All he said was, "There's been a mistake."
Friederich Suderman: Well! Couldn't that mean that Gareth wasn't betrayed? That it was all a mistake?
Alfred Baum: That's why one of us stabbed him. Because he was bringing such good news!

And the traitor is...

This could have been better as a TV play or radio play or anything but a film.It has a very good cast including that scene stealer,Donald Wolcott,everyone favourite German,Anton Differing,and a pre Dracula Christopher Lee.The film is an old dark house mystery with a Nazi twist.They are going to be told who was the traitor in their midst but the informer is murdered.They don't call the police and decide to find and try the murderer themselves.After another murder the culprit is finally unmasked using one of the oldest tricks known to thriller writers.So it all ends up neatly tied up.Much too much talk and rather statically filmed.
