Shadow of Fear is a 1964 British second feature ('B')[1] film directed by Ernest Morris and starring Paul Maxwell, Clare Owen and Anita West.[2] It was written by Ronald C. Liles and James O'Connolly from the story "Decoy, Be Damned" by T. F. Fotherby.
Waiting in a Baghdad hotel for his flight to London, Bill Martin is asked by British Intelligence agent Jack Carter to deliver a secret message to his superior Mr. Oliver. In London Martin is met by his fiancée Barbara and two police officers who take him to a hotel to meet Oliver. Martin delivers the message, but when he mentions he has a photographic memory, he is confined overnight in the hotel room. When an intruder attempts to murder him, Martin shoots him, then discovers he was one of the "officers" who met him at the airport. Making contact with MI5, Martin and Barbara agree to help entrap the espionage ring by becoming decoys.
