Trivia

One of the film's main movie posters was influenced in its design by the James Bond film franchise. David Niven appears in a white tuxedo, there is a montage of action scenes, a bevy of beautiful women, and a tagline that referenced From Russia with Love (1963) and read,"From Russia, Beirut, London, Rome and Byblos with LOVE!". 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 »

Brilliant...
10 February 2004 | by BeckyKmovieluver – See all my reviews

Brilliant... Where the Spies are is superb. With outstanding performances by David Niven, Nigel Davenport and John Le Mesurier. Where the spies are will make even the most reluctant of reluctant of audiences nostalgic for the classic secret agent film. When Dr. Love (David Niven) is approached by an old equatence in the secret service (John Le Mesurier) his life is turned upside down.
