Foreign Intrigue is a 1956 American Eastmancolor film noir crime film starring Robert Mitchum.[2] The film is written, produced and directed by Sheldon Reynolds, who had produced a television series called Foreign Intrigue in 1951.

Foreign Intrigue was one of the first major Hollywood films to be based on a popular TV series.

Plot

Millionaire Victor Danemore, living on the French Riviera, dies suddenly of a heart attack. His secretary, Dave Bishop (Robert Mitchum), wants to know more about his employer's life. Surprisingly, not even his young wife knows anything about her husband's background or how he earned his fortune. Bishop enters into a world of espionage and blackmail while uncovering Danemore's secret past. Clues lead Bishop to Vienna and Stockholm, where he learns that Danemore was blackmailing people who cooperated with the Nazis during World War II.
