 |
| This spectacular, star-studded, action-packed thriller
was filmed on location in Bristol, London, Amsterdam and Oslo. There
is a top level traitor in Moscow Centre and Stanov, Chairman of the
KGB, secretly lays a bait to flush him out. One of his officers -
codename "Kyril" - stages a convincing defection and rumours circulate
in both Moscow and London that the 'defector' carries with him the
spy's identity. But Kyril, with his misplaced loyalty, is being hunted
by the KGB and British Secret Intelligence on his hazardous journey
to London and does not realise that he is on a certain suicide mission...

| "A two-part winner sure to bamboozle, worry and
delight viewers... The ins and outs, cunningly well defined, come
together with a neat cynicism that marks the entire four-hour adventure...
Surprises jump up like coiled springs unleashed... Beryl Vertue's
production looks smashing, with top-flight camerawork." (Variety) |
