Trivia
Dirk Bogarde was invariably very unwilling to do promotional work for his films, so it was a surprise when, at the time this film opened in New York, he did a series of interviews for American radio and on local TV talk shows to advertise it. His reason was, however, unconnected with any enthusiasm for the movie - he had been holidaying in the US and had run out of money, and so agreed to do this work in return for Paramount paying his expenses to get home.

Covers an area of espionage seldom seen in spy movies: cryptography and cryptoanalysis. The whole production is given a faint brush of the surreal and it works, especially with Dirk Bogarde's performance as the title character driven by obsessions (and often overwhelmed by them). That the film also manages to work on an occasional comedic level is an additional tribute to all concerned. Keep your eyes open for a pre-M*A*S*H appearance by Donald Sutherland.
