5 Fingers, known also as Five Fingers, is a 1952 American spy film directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and produced by Otto Lang. The screenplay by Michael Wilson was based on the book Operation Cicero (Original German: Der Fall Cicero) (1950) by L.C. Moyzisch, Nazi military attaché at the German Embassy in Ankara (1943-44). In the film, James Mason plays Ulysses Diello (Cicero), the character based on Elyesa Bazna. The rest of the cast includes Danielle Darrieux, Michael Rennie, Herbert Berghof and Walter Hampden.
The film is based on the true story of Albanian-born Bazna, one of the most famous spies of World War II. He worked for the Nazis in 1943–44 while he was employed as valet to the British ambassador to Turkey, Sir Hughe Montgomery Knatchbull-Hugessen. He used the code name Cicero. He would photograph top-secret documents and turn the films over to Franz von Papen, the former German chancellor, at that time German ambassador in Ankara, via the intermediary Moyzisch, a commercial attaché at the embassy.
Based on a true story. In neutral Turkey during WWII, the ambitious and extremely efficient valet for the British ambassador tires of being a servant and forms a plan to promote himself to rich gentleman of leisure. His employer has many secret documents; he will photograph them, and with the help of a refugee Countess, sell them to the Nazis. When he makes a certain amount of money, he will retire to South America with the Countess as his wife.

Count Franz Von Papen: I've often wondered, Countess - why did you leave Warsaw?::Countess Anna Staviska: Bombs were falling. I felt I was in the way.
Ulysses Diello: There's nothing as real as money.
Countess Anna Staviska: [to Moyzich] Please, Moyzich, don't look at me as if you had a source of income other than your salary. [He clicks his heels and leaves]
Count Franz Von Papen: You could have counted on our protection.::Countess Anna Staviska: I understand you're protecting all of my estates and possessions in Poland. Who has them?::Count Franz Von Papen: Field Marshall Goering, I believe.::Countess Anna Staviska: Many of our German friends before the War would come as our guests to hunt wild pigs. I refused to invite Goering. I couldn't tolerate Goering killing a wild pig. It seemed too much like brother killing brother.
Ulysses Diello: [to Moyzisch]... and please don't have me followed. You Germans have no talent for it. You keep wanting to get ahead of the people you follow.
Japanese Ambassador: Baron von Papen, I hope your country appreciates you. You're the only unpredictable German I have ever met.
Ulysses Diello: So many more people go into German embassies than come out. I've often wondered what attraction could keep them there so long.
