Russian soldiers on the east side of the Berlin wall purposely disrupted filming by using mirrors to reflect sunlight into the cameras. The scene where Harry Palmer (Sir Michael Caine) walks to Checkpoint Charlie for the first time had to be filmed from a long distance for that reason.
Hallam (Hugh Burden) tells Palmer (Sir Michael Caine) that he was with "Monty in '45". The "Monty" that Hallam refers to was British General Bernard L. Montgomery.
Harry Saltzman offered Eva Renzi a lucrative 200,000-British Pounds-a-year contract (the same he had signed with Michael Caine), but Renzi refused. After this film, Universal put her under contract. But her aggressive outbursts and difficult attitude on her first Hollywood set stopped her promising international career before it had really begun.
Akim Tamiroff was originally cast as Colonel Stok, but fell ill, and was replaced by Oskar Homolka.
Eva Renzi and Guy Hamilton didn't get along very well. She thought he was an untalented director and told him how to light her, how to place the camera, and how to direct her co-stars. After two weeks of filming with her, Hamilton was about to quit.
"Samantha Steel: My name is Samantha Steel. Some people call me Sam. Harry Palmer: Edmund Dorf. Some people call me Edna."
"Waiter: Bitte, mein Herr? Harry Palmer: No, Löwenbrau, please."
