Trivia
James Mason commenting on the film in 1974: "(on "The Man Between") This film became very big on television in the U.S. In the cinema one demands of a thriller that the narrative thread be ever taut. The American televiewer makes no such demands since continuity is destined to be shattered by commercial interruption. Thus it often happens that what has been hitherto regarded as a failure in the cinemas will be a hit on the Late Late Show and vice versa."
Quotes
Ivo Kern:
Are your feet cold?
Susanne Mallison:
Yes, and my hands are cold. Your heart is the coldest of all.
Ivo Kern:
I can warm your feet for you. It's a pity you can't do anything about my heart.
Susanne Mallison:
I could try.
Ivo Kern:
Why should you bother?
Goofs
In East Berlin, there are many political posters with the name "Walter Ulbrich," but the East German Communist leader's name was actually spelled "Ulbricht."
