5 Fingers - 1952 - 6/10
Consider Diello, lowly valet at the British embassy in neutral Turkey during World War II.
He is trusted, he has access to confidential documents, and he has aspirations elevate his social class.

Based on the real life spy, “Cicero,” James Mason plays the cold, cynical opportunist.
Though set in Ankara, most of the exteriors are Istanbul, and downright exotic.
Fans of Harry Lime will nod in approval of Diello.
