Quotes:

Colonel Stok: I wish to defect, but there are conditions.::Harry Palmer: What do you want?::Colonel Stok: I want colonel's pay for life.::Harry Palmer: Don't we all.::Colonel Stok: A house in the country.::Harry Palmer: Oh, how many bedrooms?::Colonel Stok: Bedrooms do not matter. But I must have a big garden. I am a peasant at heart, and I want to grow roses in my old age.::Harry Palmer: In England, roses are out - weeds are in. Is that all?::Colonel Stok: That is all. I want comfort and security.::Harry Palmer: You've got all that in Russia now.::Colonel Stok: Aah, in Russia there is no place for an old Bolshevik. In my job I have made too many enemies.::Harry Palmer: Well, what about your family?::Colonel Stok: My wife died in a German air raid in 1941; my only son hasn't written to me in three years. What would you do in my position?::Harry Palmer: I'd stop telling lies, for a start. You have no son, and your wife is in Kiev with your daughter Katya. I know everything about you, Colonel Stok... from the size of your refrigerator to the cubic capacity of your mistress.

Colonel Stok: Do you play chess?::Harry Palmer: Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating.

[On his proposed defection]::Colonel Stok: And for you it is a propaganda victory - my name is worth a headline.::Harry Palmer: We get plenty of Russians. It's a pity you're not Chinese.

Harry Palmer: She picked me up last night, and - with my irrestible charm - I want to know why, and who she's working for.

Harry Palmer: Oh, by the way, is old Klaus Burger still alive?::Police officer: The forger?::Harry Palmer: Yeah, the forger.::Police officer: I'd like to run you out of Berlin, Palmer! You and MI5 and the Deuxième Bureau and the CIA and the rest of them. Then I can do my job instead of providing work for every forger, confidence man, thief, and murderer in this town!::Harry Palmer: Oh, I agree, I agree, I agree. But... is old man Klaus still alive?

Colonel Stok: If there is a mistake, the KRAPOs will be shooting at me.::Harry Palmer: That'll be nice: you'll find out what it's like to be an East German.::Colonel Stok: You are insolent! Do you think this job, this loathsome Wall, is all I've done for Communism? Does Smolensk mean anything to you, or Stalingrad? [chuckles] I look at your stupid face and I think you mean what you say. I like you, you're good at your job. You need only one thing.::Harry Palmer: What's that?::Colonel Stok: A reason for doing it.::Harry Palmer: I get paid.::Colonel Stok: £30 a week? Is it worth it - to be a tool of the generals? A tool for making trouble? Trouble makes arms, arms make money...::Harry Palmer: When you get to England, we'll give you a soapbox. You sure you want to defect tomorrow?::Colonel Stok: I told you, I'm still a good Communist. When a man leaves his wife, he remembers his wedding night. Communism was the love of my youth, and I've been faithful... until now. I was with Antomikov Sanko at the storming of the Winter Palace in 1917. Do you know what that means in Russia?::Harry Palmer: Yes, I think so. It means you're an expendable hero.

[after a plan goes wrong]::Harry Palmer: Let's get out of here. I've got some fiction to write.

Harry Palmer: I think that Vulkan is connected with this man Broum.::Ross: Brilliant, Palmer. Vulkan *is* this man Paul Louis Broum.

Harry Palmer: Do you mean that Her Majesty's government employs ex-Nazis, sir?::Ross: [referring to Palmer himself] And thieves, Palmer.

Ross: Well, you've bungled the rest of it. Get rid of him.::Harry Palmer: Pardon?::Ross: *Kill* him.::Harry Palmer: I'm not killing anybody in cold blood.::Ross: Then provoke him, if that's going to satisfy your scruples.

Lewis (director), Leslie Denison (actor), Frank Lackteen (actor), Richard Loo (actor), Noel Madison (actor), Dennis Moore (actor), Dan Seymour (actor), Ian Wolfe (actor),

Plot: Early in World War II, Chungking schoolteacher Lin Yang is recruited to help with the dangerous mission of protecting the Allied supply line from Burma into China. In spite of the danger involved, her determination to help is strengthened when one of her young students is killed in a Japanese air raid. Some time later, she is part of a group of Allied representatives departing from Lashio, on a bus traveling the Burma Road back to China. A bridge outage forces them to spend the night in a monastery along the way, and during the night they watch in horror as a supply convoy of trucks is bombed by Japanese planes. The timing and accuracy of the raid brings them to realize that either one of their group, or perhaps the priest in the monastery, is really an enemy agent.
