Starring John Le Mesurier as Adrian Harris
with Jack Hedley as James, Neil McCallum as Blake, Diana Fairfax as Lady Emma, Vincent Ball as Simpson and Lyndon Brook as Sir Arthur Harris

'I did what I did because of what I believe ... not because of some neurosis that haunts me from the cradle to the cricket pavilion.' John Le Mesurier in his best serious role plays a renegade British agent addressing western reporters in his Moscow flat.
