Danger Has Two Faces (1967)

Set in a divided Germany during the Cold War, an American spy (Robert Lansing) working in East Germany is forced to flee to West Germany after his identity has been uncovered. When an exact lookalike (Robert Lansing) is mistakenly killed by the East Germans, the spy takes over the identity of the dead man with the cooperation of the dead man's wife (Dana Wynter). Directed by John Newland (THAT NIGHT!). In the 1960s, it was not unusual for film studios to cobble together episodes from TV shows and release the edited versions as feature films theatrically. THE MAN FROM UNCLE send out eight such movies. THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS lasted only one season but 20th Century Fox spliced together four episodes and released it theatrically as DANGER HAS TWO FACES. The first half of the film moves smoothly but the second half seems ... well, episodic. As a leading man, Robert Lansing is a zero but as the wife, Dana Wynter brings some elegance and class to the project. The film benefits from the on location cinematography in Germany. With Murray Hamilton, Alexander Davion and John Van Dreelen.
