Spy in the Sky! is a 1958 American-British spy thriller film directed by W. Lee Wilder and starring Steve Brodie, Andrea Domburg and George Coulouris.[1] [2]
The film is based on the 1954 novel Counterspy Express by Albert Sidney Fleischman.[3] It was shot at the Cinetone Studios in Amsterdam and on location in Vienna.
A German scientist who knows the secrets of the Sputnik rocket programme goes on the run from the Soviets.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This story is full of complications which scarcely compensate for the lengths to which the basically simple plot is stretched. A weak script gives the cast very little opportunity for performances, and in the circumstances they make their parts as credible as could be expected."[4]
