After defecting to the United States, a former Soviet official tells the US government that the USSR is using Cuba as a launching ground for nuclear missiles. CIA agent Mike Nordstrom (John Forsythe) teams up with French spy André Devereaux (Frédérick Stafford) to figure out if these claims are true and end up uncovering a larger conspiracy. The cast of Topaz, which includes the likes of Frederick Stafford, Dany Robin, John Vernon, Karin Dor, and Claude Jade, is phenomenal. However, the movie itself is competent but does not have the same level of thrill or innovation that you expect from someone like Hitchcock.
