A former prisoner of war is brainwashed as an unwitting assassin for an international Communist conspiracy.
Highly effective and suspenseful thriller about a mad political scheme that nowadays doesn't seem as unlikely as it did to its contemporaries; direction, script and cast are all top-notch.
Halliwell****: "Insanely plotted but brilliantly handled spy thriller, a mixture of Hitchcock, Welles and All the King's Men."
Maltin***1/2: "Tingling political paranoia thriller...Harrowing presentation..."
