Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe large signet ring that Commandant Razinski wears on his right hand little finger was one of Marius Goring's own. He wears it again many times in The Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel (1955) as Sir Percy Blakeney and in The Old Men at The Zoo (1983) as Emile Englander.
- GoofsAt about 1:16, as Clark/Lockwood are about to emerge from the woods, they have a short dialogue re the insects and why/how/etc. Immediately after Clark says,"They're just insects," he rises from a squatting position and what sounds like a mellifluous bit of flatulence can be noted.
- Quotes
Bill Casey: [referring to police Commandant Razinski] There's a rumor going around that he had a mother.

Featured review
As my Father, Antony Darnborough produced this film and my uncle Muir Mathieson conducted the music, I might be slightly biased although I still feel that biological warfare was virtually unknown to the general public at the time and therefore this film was useful on many levels.
Perhaps it can in some way highlight the efforts made by the hundreds of brave and talented civilians during the cold war, many of course had little or no idea what they were letting themselves in for and no training in interogation techniques.
Classic line: "A few moths ago some people were shot in the woods - accidentally. Tourists"
