...city masses had roused to his slogan, "Panama for the Panamanians," and given him the votes to lick Government Candidate Domingo Diaz Arosemena. But this time Arias' slogan had lost its old stridently anti-Yanqui ring. Having been bounced from power in a 1941 coup and exiled through World War II, Arnulfo now talked as though he was ready to strike a deal granting the U.S. air bases in Panama...

It centers on the Soviet Embassy Code Clerk Igor Gouzenko (Dana Andrews with a short haircut) who did the cracking. An odd blend of naivete and expert craftsmanship, the picture is an above-average spine-chiller. It is also topnotch anti-Communist propaganda...
