While on vacation in Barbados to recover from the lingering effects of a love affair that ended badly, Judith Farrow (Dame Julie Andrews) meets Feodor Sverdlov (Omar Sharif), a handsome Russian. They find pleasure in each other's company as they visit colorful places on the island, but there are complications to their budding romance after their vacation in the tropical paradise comes to an end. Problems arise due to geopolitical concerns of the Cold War, for Judith is the assistant to an important minister serving in the British Home Office in London, and Feodor is the Soviet air attaché assigned in Paris to Soviet General Golitsyn (Oskar Homolka). British Intelligence Officer Jack Loder (Sir Anthony Quayle) suspects that Sverdlov is attempting to recruit Judith to work as a Soviet spy, and this is in fact what Feodor tells his boss that he is attempting to accomplish. Feodor tells Judith that this is a way for him to be able to see her without bringing about suspicion from his people. Due to somewhat similar thinking on the British side, she is encouraged to see him as well. Loder is attempting to discover the identity of an undercover Soviet Agent that has been sending confidential reports to Moscow. Soon, he also is told to help a Soviet Agent who wishes to defect to the West.

| User ReviewJeff WAn excellent movie! Way ahead of its time. Congratulations to Blake Edwards for great screen play and directing. 5 stars! |
| User ReviewStuart KThis is a great Blake Edwards movie. I was so excited to find it on iTunes that I downloaded it. I'm probably going to get scolded when the credit card bill comes. It's one that I love watch over and over again. |
| User ReviewChristian KBeautiful old-school thriller with Omar Sharif & a lovely Julie Andrews |
| User ReviewBill SAlthough somewhat implausible, Omar Sharif and Julie Andrews make it work..purely romantic film mixed with espionage and intrigue! |
| User ReviewPrivate UI love this movie SOOOO MUCH!!! YAY for Julie Andrews!! |
| User ReviewKat RFor the most part, this movie was really good. The spy-ish plot was great, and the dialogue was good. What I really didn't see was much chemistry between Omar and Julie. The romance works for the most part, though. I really do recommend it! |
| User ReviewHytham EOmar Sharif is the best part of this movie. If you ever get lost during the film, his character will put you at ease. In addition to Wonderful John Barry Soundtrack ! |
