Dull, unengaging "thriller" about two viruses -- one bad, the other very bad -- that are stolen from a lab; the thief uses the first to demonstrate his power, saving the second to guarantee it.  Our hero, a former intelligence agent, is introduced as a potential traitor, then all that is forgotten as he tracks down the bad guy.  Director Sturges, eschewing close-ups, keeps the whole story at arm's length.  Based on the novel by Alistair MacLean (writing as Ian Stuart).
