Garrett starts to walk down the road and comes across a policeman on a bicycle who goes back to the cliff with him. He finds two life jackets in the boat, and it appears to Marek (watching from the hotel with binoculars) that Garrett and Maggie are attempting to swim to a nearby island with a castle. DISCLAIMER: Note that inclusion of a title within our catalogue does not guarantee rights or print availability for a specific territory. When they approach the car they find the driver is Richter, who forces them into the car at gunpoint and they drive towards an isolated cliff top. Garrett makes several halfhearted attempts at escape, until finally Maggie reveals that she has taken a set of keys to try to help them escape.

Ian Carmichael has the performance of his career playing the nigh wrong man-esque physics professor out on a flimsy spy plot. Having jumped from the train when the two agents were encountered, David and Maggie say goodbye to Wilkins (Hugh Griffith) after spending the night on his narrow-boat. The police officer seems to imply that they could just avoid reporting all this to avoid the effort, but Garrett wants to follow all official steps.Garrett arrives at the Ministry of Defence for a meeting, and while in the bathroom a box of chess pieces is dropped off to him that his driver believes he mistakenly left in the car. Directed by the BAFTA-nominated Cy Endfield, whose credits include Zulu and Hell Drivers, Hide and Seek also stars Oscar winner Hugh Griffith, Bond villain Curd Jürgens and Golden Globe-winning British actress Janet Munro; the film is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. Curt Jurgens pops up for the finale in a trial run for his Bond villain role and Janet Munro is quite lovely.

Sometime later Maggie goes out into the corridor to smoke a cigarette and notices two men she identifies as "secret police" that they must avoid. Maggie deliberately reads the road sign incorrectly and makes them walk in the opposite direction to where they should be going. Carmichael is a physicist who supposedly possesses a great talent which is desirable by all cold war players.Director Cy Endfield mishandles the jokier aspects of the plot, in which a scientist working on a top secret project is presumed to have defected when, in actuality, he's been kidnapped. As David is driven away, he looks back to see two agents (Monty Warren and Cyril Cross) speaking with Melnicker. They are chased around in the train until Maggie pulls the emergency stop cord and she and Garrett jump off the train.

It was one of several British films released in 1964 after spending well over a year on the shelf - others included "The Leather Boys", "Ladies Who Do" and "The Comedy Man". Ian Carmichael, overdoing both comic and dramatic effects, makes an unprepossessing hero; most of the minor roles are dully overacted; and even Hugh Griffith, gleefully hamming it up as a modern Noah fleeing the nuclear deluge, fails to make his scenes seem anything other than tiresome irrelevancies designed to bolster a faltering plot. When he goes outside and says this to a cabby, the cabby suggests "King’s Square" in Chelsea, which they drive to. When Melnicker notices two individuals enter the hall he is distracted and excuses himself for the lunch break.Ian Carmichael gives a good performance in his role as David Garrett, the scientist who is totally unaware what is going to happen to him when he arrives at the area, while Janet Munro is decent as Maggie, the woman whose actions make her an unlikeable character.
