The sort of film that one senses just would've been more fun in the 1930s under Louis B. Mayer's MGM rather than Dore Schary's. Clark Gable is a journo in Mosco who falls (too quickly) for Gene Tierney, a ballerina. Another expat Richard Haydn marries a Russian too played by Belita. Both women are stuck at home. Then the boys go rescue.
Lacking in suspense and even romance - the courtship is rapid. Instead we get a long unfunny scene where Haydn out-drinks a Russian. The plan isn't that clever. Kenneth More brightens things up as a British journalist who helps the couple.
It's not in colour. I mean, it's okay.
