Flight from Vienna, also known as Escape from the Iron Curtain, is a 1955 second feature[1] British film directed by Denis Kavanagh and starring Theodore Bikel and John Bentley.[2]
Colonel Sandor Kosice is a Hungarian police chief who escapes to Vienna seeking political asylum. However, his motives are under suspicion.
