Trivia
When Dr. Love, (David Niven), receives the watch from MacGillivray, (John Le Mesurier ), the inscription on the back reads. it says, Love, from Uncle. A possible reference to the TV series, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., 1964. See more »Goofs
Before Love is sent to Beirut, Jackson checks the papers to be given to Love. The last of them is "a photo of Rosser". Later in Rosser's hotel room in Beirut, however, a very important scene is built around the proposition that Love does not know what Rosser looks like. Love may not be an actual spy, but he should still be able to recognize a man from his photo. See more »Quotes

Cold War hi-jinks of an implausible nature. David Niven plays the civilian who turns out to have an aptitude for being a secret agent when plunged into the role by accident.
The studios were obviously still trying to convince people that David Niven could be a dashing man of action as well as suave and debonair, but unfortunately this line was always doomed, and this picture gives convincing evidence why.
The plot is arrant nonsense from beginning to end, played by a puppet theatre of cliched stereotypes.
Where The Audiences Are this certainly isn't.
