Synopsis

Highly Dangerous (1950) box art Eric Ambler's playful script is the main reason for watching this lively espionage adventure, although there's also some wonderful character acting from Wilfrid Hyde White and Michael Hordern. Margaret Lockwood is particularly sprightly as an entomologist caught up in intrigue behind the Iron Curtain by reporter Dane Clark. Director Roy Ward Baker imparts the same jaunty mix of thrills and comedy that he brought to such hit TV shows as The Avengers, but he doesn't always succeed in persuading American actor Clark (making his British screen debut) to drop the Hollywood pizzazz and play down the material.
