Julie Andrews, looking quite attractive, gives an unexpectedly mature, thoughtful performance which leaves no doubt that she is capable of playing serious dramatic roles. Unfortunately, she is possibly the only impressive quality of this BORING spy melodrama, which icludes some good scenes along with many annoying or redundant or irrelevant ones. It definitely needs some trimming. Alfred Hitchcock's similar "Torn Curtain" is considered one of his weakest films, but it's at least five times better than this one.
