Eric Braden, now a long time soap star, began his career with this flick. Word has it that he had to suppress his German accent when filming it. Susan Clark was a great supporting role, as she would be. Also William Schallert as the CIA chief.

"Welcome to world control!" Has always been my login response on all of my many Linux boxes in honor of this flick.

I heartily recommend it.
