Counterspy Meets Scotland Yard is a 1950 American film noir B movie directed by Seymour Friedman and starring Howard St. John, Ron Randell and Amanda Blake.[1]
It was the second of two film adaptations based on the radio series Counterspy (1942–57) created by Phillips H. Lord., starring Howard St. John as David Harding. The first had been David Harding, Counterspy (1950).
When enemy agents obtain leaked secrets about a guided missile system, an American spy, David Harding, and a British investigator, Simon Langton, are teamed together to find the source.
Variety said "Most of the large cast play their roles broadly with a hint that they’re enjoying the excursion into make-believe...Seymour Friedman directed at a fast clip. Camerawork of Philip Tannura was good, especially in the action sequences, while producer Wallace MacDonald squeezed ample values out of his low budget."[2]
