Der Vollstrecker (THE EXECUTIONER)

The financial success of the James Bond films sparked a boom in the spy movie genre in 1960s cinemas. With his contribution, director Wanamaker adhered more closely to le Carré than to Fleming. When an operation directed from Vienna fails in Prague, agent John Shay suspects a double agent among his intelligence service colleagues. However, the search for clues and evidence within his own ranks turns into a harrowing ordeal for him.
