Much maligned and under-appreciated, this Hitchcock spy film actually isn't all that bad at all. Probably it's major downfall is it's lack of 'star power', (although 'Frenzy' didn't have much of that in my opinion and I found that film hugely enjoyable). If you do decide on this then try to get the version with the alternative endings as well. There are four endings in total.

This is without a doubt one of the most underrated films in history. In many respects it is 3 stories in one - it starts off with the defection of a Russian Agent in Denmark and his escape to the USA, then focuses on the French agent's fact-finding mission in Cuba and culminates in a discovery of the truth in Paris. All of the characters are multi-dimensional - if you want clear "goodies" and "baddies", this is not the film for you. The ending is great and will always bring an ironic smile to your face. It is a long film, but is one to watch more than once, as each time you see it, more and more subtleties come out. It has a real European flavour to it and benefits enormously from not having any "stars" in it.
A really good thriller by Alfred Hitchcock, kept you interested all the way through. Set in the early 60's during the cuban missile crisis. A spy is set to Cuba to see if the Russians have put missiles on the island,the spy is actually french working for the americans his wife does not like him working for the americans and leaves him for another man who is actually an old friend of their's since they were in the resistance in the war. They later find out that he is actually a russian spy in the french government.
This film is depicted on politics and espionage of the Cold War years which involves an Member of the Russian KGB who is exiled in the United States. )This is subject to further revisions)
