(1963, Anamorphic Widescreen) Stephen Murray, June Thorburn, Alan Wheatley, John Carson, Jack Watson. Murray gives a fine, low-key performance as a defecting Russian scientist who goes to work at a British nuclear experimentation lab, working on a neutron ray. But is he loyal to the crown? Little does his beautiful fellow scientist Thorburn know that she will soon become a pawn in a dangerous game of international sabotage. As “little” British 1950s thrillers go, this one is really quite good, with fine portrayals by all and a script that provides numerous twists and turns, especially in the last reel. It’s a good one. From 35mm.
