Trivia
Originally planned as a reunion between the writer (Leo Marks) and the director (Michael Powell) of Peeping Tom (1960), this was inspired by Marks' own wartime career as an ace code-breaker. However, the notoriety of "Peeping Tom" made it hard to get the project off the ground. Powell became connected with American Producer Herbert Brodkin during the making of the television series Espionage (1963), and hoped that Brodkin's interest would get this movie made. When it finally was, he and Marks were replaced. Powell had to be content with a producing credit, while Marks was credited solely with the story. See more »Soundtracks

My husband was watching a movie today and I had to comment to him as I was passing by that I really liked one of the actors in it and very much enjoyed one of his other movies.
I had to check him out on IMDb: Dirk Bogarde to find the title that I had trouble retrieving from the depths of my mind (thank goodness for IMDb).
I am also one of those who saw it many years ago and it keeps popping back to mind. I liked the actors, the characters, the mood, the somewhat psychedelic feel of the 60s and really wish they would bring it out on DVD so that I can see it again and keep the title nearer the forefront of my brain!
