USA

Synopsis:
A Cold War drama with the always watchable Richard Widmark as an American
soldier of fortune helping a noted Hungarian intellectual and anti-communist
escape from behind the Iron Curtain. The tone wavers between realism and
satire, the result of a dispute between Widmark and director Phil Karlson, a
B-movie specialist who had just turned down Dr No. “I told Widmark I
wanted to do it as a James Bond,” said Karlson, “but he hadn't heard
of Bond. I said, 'If we do this tongue-in-cheek we'll be the first ones.' He
said, 'No, I don't want to do it that way.' We had a big fight and I never
finished the picture.”
