Low-key, stagey drama nevertheless takes full advantage of the Cinemascope frame with some excellent framing compositions (the opening marching parade is a surprisingly potent example). Echoes of Costa-Gavras' later MISSING abound; while this tale of spies and espionage feels a little twee and dated (and wordy), Peck and Crawford more than make up for it, each delivering wonderfully flinty performances.

This cold war drama really picks up the second half.
