Cheap The Man Between

Having come to postwar Berlin to visit her army officer brother, British teacher Susanne Mallison (Claire Bloom) couldn’t help but be romantically intrigued by her new sister-in-law’s local acquaintance, attorney Ivo Kern (James Mason). She shrugged off his reticence to discuss his past-or his present dealings-but they’d be abundantly clear once she was grabbed by his accomplices in an East German kidnap ring. Carol Reed’s moody thriller also stars Hildegard Knef, Geoffrey Toone, Karl John.
