Short description

After an unauthorized letter suggesting U.S. support for a Russian attack on China is sent to Moscow, a former naval officer and his team go undercover to retrieve it. Their plans are disrupted when a cunning politician raids their hideout.

What's left behind the scenes

  • During the filming of the movie, Orson Welles was also involved in the production of Mike Nichols' 'Catch-22'.
  • James Coburn was originally considered for the role of Charles Rune.
  • The film employs a voice-over technique that was innovative for its time: in scenes where characters are meant to be speaking Russian, the dialogue begins in Russian and, after a few phrases, continues in English. This avoids both an excessive amount of subtitles and the need for full English dubbing.
