The spy who became a star
2010
Overview
QUESTION Why was the [Joseph L. Mankiewicz] film about the spy Cicero, played by James Mason in 1952, called Five Fingers? FIVE Fingers was based on the true story of Elyesa Bazna, Albanian-born valet to Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen, the British ambassador to Turkey. Sensing an opportunity to make money, Bazna photographed secret British documents before approaching Ludwig Moyzisch, an attache at the German Embassy in Ankara. He became a paid German agent in 1943 and was given the codename Cicero. Mankiewicz came up with the title Five Fingers to reflect the leading character's greed. The original poster depicted an outstretched hand with the words 'lust', 'greed', 'passion', 'desire' and 'sin' on it.
