Can this leading man be this much of a dupe? Can he really trust this woman who is obviously a chronic liar and thief? Can the Tom Berenger character and this insurance investigating company boss really trust this beginner and not ask to see his surveillance recordings, especially in light of an astronomical bill to the client?
In the early 1950s, Russia's brutal, murdering leader Josef Stalin (staling is Russian for "steel") became extremely paranoid of Jewish doctors, who he claimed were sabotaging Russian ideology. The controls were tightened and many were falsely accused and executed. The dialog makes many references to Russian soldiers occupying a neighboring country, candidates being Hungary, Rumania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, and the Baltic States. Some of the "border" towns have German names, others have Slavic (e.g., Zarnick) names. The student protest against totalitarian occupation is suppressed by the heroine's ostensible lover, an ambitious Russian Captain - Major wanna-be. The fear endured by Communist occupation continued, despite Hungarian invasion by Russia in 1956, and Czech invasion by Russia in 1968, Stalin died in 1953.
