It is in this risky mood that Eberlin falls in love with the emaciated Caroline (Mia Farrow). Complications arise when he is directed to kill a Russian spy -- but the Russian spy happens to be himself. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    Here a completely cool film with a unique twist to the spy thriller film...at least that ive seen so far. Laurence Harvey plays a Russian counter-espionage agent who works for the British service, but actually is working under cover for Moscow. When the British service find there... read more is a mole in their ranks they assign Harvey to find him. Problem is Harvey is the mole,. Another great dimension to the character Harvey plays is he just want to be back home.
    This is a spy film and alough you are ultimatly rooting for the bad guy, Harvey, it is the British agaent who is partnered up with Harvey who is truly the sadistic and ruthless "bad guy" Mia Farrow plays a fun role as a romantic interest of Harveys. As lovly as Farrow is, you can just smell the puke on her breath she looks so emaciated.
