Espionage: Never Turn Your Back on a Friend + A Free Agent

Powell may not be as associated with television as Alfred Hitchcock, but he was interested in its possibilities and among other projects directed three episodes of Espionage, the series of standalone spy dramas devised by producer Herbert Brodkin. In Never Turn Your Back on a Friend, a moral dilemma is faced by three Allied agents in occupied Norway when they take a German scientist hostage. In A Free Agent, a British engineer and his Russian wife, both agents for their governments in wartime, question where their loyalties lie in the present.
