Trivia
At 32min 20sec, the Washington restaurant where Alexander Feklisov met journalist John Scali, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, was the "Occidental Grill & Seafood".

The table where this historic event took place is marked by a brass plaque which reads, "At this table during the tense moments of the Cuban missile crisis a Russian offer to withdraw missiles from Cuba was passed by the mysterious Russian 'Mr. X' to ABC TV correspondent John Scali. On the basis of this meeting the threat of a possible nuclear war was avoided."

Goofs
In the section about George Blake at 27mins onwards, narrator Charlton Heston says that Blake died in 1996. At time of writing, Blake is very much still alive and living in Moscow on a KGB pension.
