Watch Dangerous Assignment

This Cold War espionage thriller follows US Special Agent Steve Mitchell as he travels to exotic locales in adventure and international intrigue. Agent Steve Mitchell (played by Brian Donlevy) gets his assignments from Washington D.C. by a man only known as "The Commissioner" before heading off to some far off corner of the world where Mitchell must rely on his wits to complete the mission, and sometimes to simply survive. During the flight Agent Mitchell often narrates more details on his assignment, as the suspense and mystery of how it will be completed grows.

Part detective story, part adventure, The Dangerous Assignment is a more serious take on international espionage, with Agent Mitchell relying on wits and cunning rather than gadgets or any unnaturally keen fighting ability.
