Charles Dobbs is a British secret agent investigating the apparent suicide of Foreign Office official Samuel Fennan. Dobbs suspects that Fennan's wife, Elsa, a survivor of a Nazi Germany extermination camp, might have some clues, but other officials want Dobbs to drop the case. So Dobbs hires a retiring inspector, Mendel, to quietly make inquiries. Dobbs isn't at all sure as there are a number of anomalies that simply can't be explained away. Dobbs is also having trouble at home with his errant wife, whom he very much loves, having frequent affairs. He's also pleased to see an old friend, Dieter Frey, who he recruited after the war. With the assistance of a colleague and a retired policeman, Dobbs tries to piece together just who is the spy and who in fact assassinated Fennan.
The Deadly Affair is a Thriller, Mystery, Drama film released in 1967.

Movie Dialogue Sample
Did it work?
569
00:35:28,894 --> 00:35:30,662
Infallibly.
570
00:35:32,398 --> 00:35:35,267
He never makes mistakes,
does he?
571
00:35:41,607 --> 00:35:44,443
I think he made one
just now.
572
00:35:46,945 --> 00:35:49,581
He kissed your hand.
573
00:35:50,949 --> 00:35:53,485
You offered him
your cheek.
574
00:35:55,053 --> 00:35:57,256
And for the first time in...
575
00:35:57,356 --> 00:36:00,692
What is it,
seven years?
576
00:36:00,792 --> 00:36:05,497
He didn't kiss
you on the cheek,
he kissed your hand
577
00:36:05,597 --> 00:36:08,400
as if he had
something to hide.
578
00:36:10,336 --> 00:36:13,739
Does it have to be
Dieter of all people?
579
00:36:20,746 --> 00:36:22,180
Yes.
580
00:36:22,814 --> 00:36:23,982
And in this house?
581
00:36:24,082 --> 00:36:26,452
You never phoned!
582
00:36:26,552 --> 00:36:29,288
Can I only invite people
you have cleared for
security,
583
00:36:29,388 --> 00:36:31,490
or do I
have to check them
against a card index?
584
00:36:31,590 --> 00:36:33,392
It's my house
as much as yours!
585
00:36:33,492 --> 00:36:35,694
It's not my house!
It's not your house!
586
00:36:35,794 --> 00:36:36,862
It's our house!
587
00:36:36,962 --> 00:36:38,697
It doesn't have
to be used for...
588
00:36:38,797 --> 00:36:40,932
We only used
it for meeting!
We were going to...
589
00:36:41,032 --> 00:36:45,704
I don't want to hear
what you were going
to do or where or when!
590
00:36:48,507 --> 00:36:50,876
I wouldn't mind
so much if it was
591
00:36:50,976 --> 00:36:53,312
one of your six-foot,
randy musclemen
592
00:36:53,412 --> 00:36:57,316
without a thought in
his thick skull except...
593
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:01,186
It's the...
594
00:37:01,287 --> 00:37:03,555
It's the nice ones
that I'm terrified of.
595
00:37:03,655 --> 00:37:06,625
The ones that could
give you love.
596
00:37:10,128 --> 00:37:12,464
Oh, Ann.
597
00:37:12,564 --> 00:37:16,402
Why does it have to
be Dieter suddenly?
598
00:37:16,502 --> 00:37:19,738
Like this,
after all these years?
599
00:37:22,107 --> 00:37:24,576
He never wanted me before.
600
00:37:27,413 --> 00:37:29,448
And he does now?
601
00:37:30,782 --> 00:37:32,484
Yes, Charles.
602
00:37:33,552 --> 00:37:35,854
When did he tell you?
603
00:37:37,656 --> 00:37:40,258
How did you happen to meet?
604
00:37:42,928 --> 00:37:47,999
He phoned yesterday
morning, about noon,
605
00:37:49,301 --> 00:37:50,969
to ask you and me
to lunch.
606
00:37:51,069 --> 00:37:53,639
I said you
were out on a job,
so he asked just me...
607
00:37:53,739 --> 00:37:56,475
Doesn't his friendship...
608
00:38:02,414 --> 00:38:04,350
Do you love him?
609
00:38:05,784 --> 00:38:08,620
It's very easy
to love Dieter.
610
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:13,459
Well, we both of us
know that.
611
00:38:13,559 --> 00:38:17,062
If I could love one man,
it would be you, Charles.
612
00:38:18,597 --> 00:38:21,066
But you can't,
can you?
613
00:38:21,166 --> 00:38:23,502
Are you asking me to try?
614
00:38:23,602 --> 00:38:26,505
No, not again, I...
615
00:38:26,605 --> 00:38:30,041
It's not much
fun being with you,
watching you trying.
616
00:38:30,141 --> 00:38:34,646
But I've
never held your
appetites against you.
617
00:38:34,746 --> 00:38:38,650
The un-addicted
shouldn't blame
the addicted.
618
00:38:40,318 --> 00:38:46,024
I'm just relieved
that it's less lethal
than drink or drugs.
619
00:38:47,125 --> 00:38:49,194
I wish it were curable.
620
00:38:49,294 --> 00:38:50,829
(SIGHS)
621
00:38:50,929 --> 00:38:53,031
Short of locking you up.
622
00:38:53,131 --> 00:38:56,267
You could lock me out.
623
00:38:56,368 --> 00:38:59,571
I'm going
to lock myself out
for a bit until we see...
624
00:38:59,671 --> 00:39:01,540
Darling...
No, look,
I'm not being saintly.
625
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,109
I'm just being practical.
626
00:39:04,910 --> 00:39:06,344
Um...
627
00:39:06,445 --> 00:39:08,113
I resigned from
the department.
628
00:39:08,213 --> 00:39:09,715
What?
629
00:39:09,815 --> 00:39:12,484
And until I clear
this thing up or get
myself another job,
630
00:39:12,584 --> 00:39:14,920
I'll just be
hanging around here,
631
00:39:15,020 --> 00:39:16,988
snivelling about
my own personal life
632
00:39:17,088 --> 00:39:19,290
instead of attending
to my professional.
633
00:39:19,391 --> 00:39:22,327
Well, I want to settle
this squalid little mess
634
00:39:22,428 --> 00:39:25,997
with the department
once and for all to
my own satisfaction,
635
00:39:26,097 --> 00:39:29,501
and not to
the satisfaction
of a bunch of selfish,
636
00:39:29,601 --> 00:39:31,703
sanctimonious,
bureaucratic nits!
637
00:39:31,803 --> 00:39:33,972
There's been
an injustice done
and I hate that!
638
00:39:34,072 --> 00:39:36,508
And it'll give me
something
