Starring James Mason, Danielle Darrieux, Michael Rennie

Based on a true story, this sophisticated espionage thriller stars James Mason as a valet to the British ambassador in Turkey during World War II who decides to improve his lot by selling his employer’s top-secret documents to the Nazis. Abetted by outstanding performances from Mason, Danielle Darrieux, and Michael Rennie, director Joseph L. Mankiewicz spins an elegant and ironic tale of professional, personal, and romantic deception that crackles with venomous dialogue, startling double crosses, and suspense worthy of Hitchcock.
