It's all very fanciful and a little feverish, but I can appreciate this attempt at embodying the Cold War paranoia of the times (so many sweaty lips.) Unfortunately, Frankenheimer is sort of a leaden director and most of the cast sleepwalks through the movie--Harvey maybe has an excuse, but Sinatra is deathly dull. The suspense never builds and it just doesn't grab me. Lansbury is a standout, though, and there's a lovely sequence at the end that reminds me of the editing style in JFK.
