Counterspy (also known as Night People and Undercover Agent) is a 1953 British second feature[1] thriller film directed by Vernon Sewell and starring Dermot Walsh, Hazel Court and Hermione Baddeley.[2] An accountant comes into possession of secret papers sought by both the government and a spy ring.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A conventional but quite lively spy thriller, well supplied with action. Hermione Baddeley provides an effective character study as the fortune teller and Alexander Guage makes a suitably sinister and oily villain."[3]
TV Guide called it "A routine spy picture," and rated it two out of five stars.[4]
