The two films Don Sharp made for Group W aren't widely known - this and The Violent Enemy. This isn't bad - it's not great, but I kept watching. I couldn't pick what was going to happen.
I thought it was a woman in peril film - Eva Renzi is chased by some mysterious people, someone is driving her insane. Then part of the way in she crosses with this painter, David Buck, and he becomes the hero - his character actually was the hero of a series of novels, the first of which was the basis for this book. It then turns into this Cold War Thriller.
Buck and Renzi are vaguely familiar to me. Buck is fine; Renzi was very good, beautiful, and a solid actor; the role gives her something to chew on, she's got to be mad, and sexy, and mysterious, and fall in love.
Familiar faces turn up in the support cast like Francis Matthews, Peter Bowles (in an accent), Peter Vaughan.
