Reception

edit

According to BFI Screenonline "this uneasy attempt to graft a youthful hero (Wyler's boyish projection) on to a rugged crime-buster framework usually associated with more mature leading characters - Charles Korvin's Inspector Duval in the 1959–1960 series Interpol Calling (ITV), for instance – gave The Man from Interpol little more than an air of tired hysteria."[3]
