Delightful surprise
I wasn’t sure if I’d like this film or not. Its British and it stars James Mason and Claire Bloom. So far so good, but its a “spy” drama which I sometimes find tedious. What a surprise! Beautifully filmed amid the bombed out rubble of post war Berlin, Mason and Bloom really shine here. This was an amazing pairing of two excellent actors. Mr Mason, as always, gives an first rate performance. What a pleasure to see him on ice skates. Bloom is lovely as the Englishwoman visiting her brother in Germany and drawn into a tense cat and mouse game where no one can be fully trusted.

Definitely a must see for Mason fans but I think good for anyone who enjoys top-notch drama well acted and directed.

those streets with and without snow, a revelation
I enjoyed this, it is not great, nor very serious, which I like. I’m a bit adverse to serious spy drama, where I have to take all the political shenanigans too seriously, so this was fine for me, being more about the people involved and showing the city. I don’t ever recall seeing such pictures of the devastation of Berlin or those simple border controls, many years before the wall. So, here we have Claire Bloom in one of the best performances I have seen from her, the possibly even lovelier but more one note turn from Hildegarde Neff and the more or less ever faithful James Mason. I was a bit concerned about his accent at first but soon got used to it and now understand that it is considered fine in Germany, so thats OK. The tale is fairly simple and predictable but the performances entrance and those streets with and without snow, a revelation. The cinematography and sharp direction make for a visual treat, especially those street scenes, the rooftops and stairwells and a decent level of suspense towards the end.
