Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Tom Hutchinson

This was another outing for Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine, but this Cold War thriller is not a fraction as effective as their Sleuth 12 years before. The story, about a British traitor whose face is surgically altered by the Russians so that he can be sent back on a mission, is only patchily convincing and, like the most irritating of jigsaws, a lot of plot-pieces seem to be missing.
