Featured review
Red scare era film?
Well, that's not an authentic red scare period film, as were BIG JIM MC LAIN, INVASION USA, WHIP HAND, and so many US propaganda films that spread during the fifties. It speaks of the war between Western authorities and Behind the iron Curtain forces, the "evil" ones, but in a smart, sensitive, and brilliant way. It is purely espionage, spy scheme, as there were so many in the sixties, and even after. Ernest Borgnine is excellent in this ambivalent role, for whom the audiences of this era, who were more used to be on the good American side, for once, could feel a bit discomfortable with such an unusual lead character. Solid Andre De Toth directing.
