A disgraced former CIA agent attempts to bring a Russian defector safely to his former bosses
This British spy thriller was first released in Austria and West Germany in 1967, then in Britain in 1968. The story is based on the 1959 novel Double Agent by Gene Stackelberg (listed in error as Gene Stackleburg in the opening credits). It has a brief sequence filmed at night outside St. Margarets station and a scene at the end that was filmed at London Marylebone. This final sequence is composed of funny shades and odd angles but it is still clear enough to see that Class 115 DMU’s are in attendence.
