Laurence Harvey is a double agent, working for both the UK and the USSR. In London, the British assign him to assassinate a Russian in Berlin, but it turns out he is assigned to assassinate himself. The Russians know this, and so, apparently, do the British. Most of the film takes place in Berlin and the location shooting is good. However, almost nothing happens. Mia Farrow follows him there, but she is a bored photographer and her character brings nothing to the film. Spies meet and talk, phone calls are made, messages intercepted, but really, nothing happens until the final anticlimactic scene.
