Originally set in Chicago, Waller changed the location
when told that Moscow would provide much cheaper
sets/labor.

Director Anthony Waller filmed Alec Guinness' scenes nine
years before the rest of the film from an earlier draft
of the screenplay. Guinness gave his performance in one
morning before catching a plane. When Waller needed an
additional scene, he used the film from earlier and
reversed it.
