Based on a novel by the creator of the TV series 'The Virginian'. This cracking Cold War retread of 'The Prisoner of Zenda', with Italy standing in for the fictitious Balkan republic of Vosnia (national anthem courtesy of William Alwyn), is a consummate job all round that ranks alongside antecedents like 'The 39 Steps' and 'The Mortal Storm' and deserves to be much better known today.
