A mild spy drama which turns into a courtroom drama in the second half. The screenplay is by Edgar Lustgarten, one of the best known on-screen law experts of the late '50s and early '60s. Anthony Quayle plays one of a number of spies, who just so happens to be posing as the husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor, a fellow spy. When Gabor is murdered, Quayle is blamed and is unable to defend himself due to the necessity of keeping everything secret. His canny defence lawyer works things out, however. I found this quite an average kind of film, not helped by an overly literary script and a lack of energy and life coming from the characters, some of whom are miscast. The slow pacing makes the whole thing flag before long.
