Trivia Loosely based on the early life of Guy Burgess, a key figure in the Cambridge Five spy ring of the 1930s and 1940s, who eventually defected to Russia in 1951. Even the manner of "Guy Bennett"'s father's death, as he discloses it to Harcourt, is the same as Burgess's father. Even so, the closing credits make the standard declaration, "The events, characters and firms depicted in this photoplay are fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual firms is purely coincidental." See more »
Goofs In Moscow, 1983, elderly Guy Bennett claims to be "the last of the few", two of the real Cambridge spies (Donald Maclean and Anthony Blunt) having died in that very year. In fact, the real-life model for Bennett, Guy Burgess, was the earliest of the group to die, twenty years earlier in 1963. Neither would he have been the last of the Cambridge spies still alive, since Kim Philby lived on to 1988, and John Cairncross until 1995. See more »
