Still an exciting Cold War thriller in which nothing and especially no one is what it/he/she seems, with a strong cast for the leading roles and a few actors in supporting roles who would later become considerably more famous (such as Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin). . Tyrone Power does a fine job as a "courier" who ends up in a conspiracy that is actually too big for him but who refuses to give up, and Patricia Neal is to die for. Perhaps dated, but still intriguing today due to the fast pace and mature approach.

As for the location work, Henry Hathaway in 1971: "Diplomatic courier is a film I like very much, and it was another experience. I had made many pictures outside. The picture took place in Europe and went on all over. I made it on the stage, I never left the stage. The second unit shot the scene with Tyrone Power on the Trocadero. As soon as a guy wanted to go to Europe they said, 'Get Diplomatic courier, show the son-of-a-bitch the picture – it was made on the stage.' All the stuff on the street, everything, was shot with transparencies, like the Trocadero scene."
