assignment redhead (1956)

In Allied Occupied Berlin some passengers wait to catch a flight to London. One takes the photo of a woman with a Major Scammel. She objects to being photographed and reveals her name as Hedy Bergner, a singer on her way to London. Once in London another of the passengers, a Major Keen, is asked by MI5 to question the rest in an attempt to try and flush out the mastermind behind a gang supplying black market passports. Things then start to heat up when the photographer is found dead and so is the real Major Scammel.
A run of the mill quota quickie, made quickly and cheaply, (and you can tell), that has just enough to it to entertain for the 80 minute duration, but no more.
