A Stranger in Vienna
A tinny but reasonably engrossing Cold War quickie largely shot in Vienna with mainly post-synced dialogue (of which there is plenty) centring on the exploits of a Hungarian defector; released the same year things in that poor country got really ugly.
We rarely see Viennese star Theodore Bikel the folk singer in movies; but he here briefly appears strumming a guitar in the opening sequence before he gets down to the serious business of spiriting his wife and the usual World Famous Scientist from behind the Iron Curtain.
It's only an hour long, slickly cut together and it's incredible age makes it interesting today as a period piece.
