What Diplomatic Courier Is About

During the Cold War the diplomatic courier Mike Kells has to collect a dispatch carrying top secret intelligence. He reaches the meeting point, a railway station in Salzburg, and finds his contact dead and the dispatch gone. With no obvious suspect, he has to work out where he stands with two women while getting past sabotage and surveillance in the search. Henry Hathaway's 1952 film is a good example of the spy thrillers of the moment, and the European locations give it something of a documentary air. Tyrone Power leads, with Patricia Neal and Karl Malden.
