aka Mr. Sebastian.Mr. Sebastian (Dirk Bogarde) is a cryptographer who runs a code breaking department in British Intelligence, in his own idiosyncratic way. A management style that is at odds with the militaristic ways of the rest of Intelligence. He literally bumps into Rebecca (Susannah York) whilst in Oxford and when she insults him he offers her a job, which she eventually takes, despite not knowing what the job is. She then makes it her hobby to get to know him better.
An inconsequential piece of fluff, that's packed full of nothingness, fortunately though it's 60's nothingness, all style, with just enough substance to keep the interest up and Dirk giving one of his gracefully camp performances, which adds up to an enjoyable film as far as I'm concerned as I'm a sucker for such stuff.
