Trivia
During the fake interrogation of Eddie Chapman in London, he is asked what film he saw in the movie theater. He answers; "Warsaw Concerto" with Anton Walbrook and Sally Gray." This could be an inside joke and reference to the film Vaarallista kuutamoa (1941) with participation of the mentioned actors and written by this film's director Terence Young.

Goofs
Near the beginning of this film set in 1939 Christopher Plummer is reading a 1966 newspaper with the front page headline "New Concord Cost Shock"

The Chapman Report

Proudly declaring itself in the opening credits 'Terence Young's Triple Cross', the first half is basically James Bond With Nazis, reuniting Gert Frobe from 'Goldfinger' and Claudine Auger from 'Thunderball' (with Anthony Dawson from 'Dr No', Francis de Wolff from 'From Russia with Love' and Edward Underdown from 'Thunderball' in smaller parts).

Christopher Plummer seems to having more fun here than in 'The Sound of Music', and the gun with a curved barrel for shooting round corners suggests someone's tongue was initially in their cheek. But Young's direction is lazily dependent on pans and zooms, it all goes on for far too long, and becomes increasingly plot-heavy as it grinds it's way towards the two-hour mark.
