THE DEVIL’S AGENT—Widescreen Edition (1961) Peter Van Eyck, Christpher Lee, Macdonald Carey, Marianne Koch, Billy Whitelaw. Lee takes his pal, Van Eyck (a former intel officer) to his country estate on a fishing excursion. But when Lee's sister asks Van Eyck to transport a small package to a contact in Germany, the baffled Van Eyck is thrown into a circle of spy games involving the Russians. He then crisscrosses Europe in order to outwit his adversaries, all the while falling for a beautiful escapee. He soon decides to offer his services to US intelligence. But before long his situation seems as hopeless as it is complicated. A pretty shocking ending. Taut and engaging. Widescreen, from 35mm.
