Trivia
Sir Dirk Bogarde was cast at last minute. Bogarde originally turned down this movie and Sir Tom Courtenay was cast, then Bogarde changed his mind due to financial reasons - he had taken considerably less than his usual salary for The Servant (1963) in order to get the film made. As he was in his early 40s at the time, he was rather too old for the role of "Nicholas Whistler," who is clearly supposed to be only in his twenties. Five years later, Courtenay ended up starring in another spy comedy, "Otley (1969)."

Goofs
As Whistler takes cover on the parade float, one of the men travelling alongside him stares and waves at the camera.

Quotes
Nicholas Whistler: I'm a writer. I must be, it says so in my passport.

My brief review of the film

A better-than-average spy thriller, the film is sort of like a combination between James Bond and 'North by Northwest'. It has an awful number of lame jokes in the mix, but in compensation, there are many amusing moments to be had along the way. Set and made during the time of the Cold War, there are almost unavoidably overly silly, mocking portrayals of the Communist characters, however in such a light-hearted film as this one is, silly supporting do not pose much of a problem. Generally, this is just enjoyable stuff, nothing heavy but still entertaining, and at times quite sexed up too, without overdoing it.
