While conducting a google search for information on Operation Damocles, the Israeli campaign against the foreign engineers who worked on Nasser’s missile and HA-300 fighter programmes, I came across this clip from what looks like a late-1960s movie:

Such as the quality of the script and the acting that ithe movie from which it was taken seems to have sunk into oblivion, but does anyone know what its title was? Viewing it might be an amusing way of strolling down a dark and overgrown part of memory lane...

Well, that's George Sanders. Looking at the films he made in the 1960's "Trunk to Cairo" would seem to fit.

Thanks for that swift and informative reply. I googled for the trailer and found it, confirming your identification. Needless to say, the movie is not available on DVD.
