The Defector

Little explanation, from the opening frame, as Montgomery Clift, in his last performance, playing American scientist Bower, arrives in Munich, meeting British-accented CIA man Adam (Roddy McDowall) at the zoo, in The Defector, 1966.

American scientist Bower (Montgomery Clift), recruited for a CIA mission, in Leipzig, in his first meeting with his canny East German antagonist Heinzmann (Hardy Kruger), denying plans to meet a defecting Russian scientist, in The Defector, 1966.

Rightly-suspected American spy Bower (Montgomery Clift, in his last film), grows worried about the new East German hotel room he's sent to, director (usually a producer/writer) Raoul Levy applying weirdness, some sympathy from hotel staffer Tommy (Rolf Zacher), in The Defector, 1966.
