Richard Wyler as Anthony Smith in Man from Interpol.

Premise

Anthony Smith, an agent based at Britain's Interpol Division at Scotland Yard, takes on international assignments dealing with murderers, drug smugglers and slave runners.

Cast

  • Richard Wyler as Interpol Agent Anthony Smith
  • John Longden as Superintendent Mercer
  • John Serret as Inspector Gouthier / Inspector Frenay ( French Police Chief)

Reception

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 1959-60 series Interpol Calling (ITV), for instance - gave The Man from Interpol little more than an air of tired hysteria."[3]
