Standout Aspects

Acting

Stanley Baker's brooding amnesiac vs. Nielsen's icy handler.

Direction

Goldstone crams a feature's worth of paranoia into one hour.

Production

Swinging '67 aesthetics with actual practical spy craft.

Best for:Solo: Late-night vintage spy fix when you want zero commitment.·Rewatch: Spotting pre-comedy Leslie Nielsen being genuinely menacing.·Background: It's 60 minutes. You can literally miss half.
