Viewing Notes
A spy thriller that’s kind of dull and uninteresting. There’s a romance thrown in for no real reason. The special effects are clearly a model train set, even though the avalanche is kind of neat. Robert Shaw died before post-production and his dialogue (with a Russian accent) sounds dubbed.
