This was an odd one, made one more odd by George Segal as our American spy in Berlin. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in anything this serious!
The Quiller Memorandum
He played the most dangerous game in Europe, and he played it alone.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meticulously controlled Cold War thriller where a lone agent operates in a murky Berlin underworld, trusting no one. The film finds its grip not in action but in the psychological cat-and-mouse game between hunter and hunted.
