I watched this program in 1953. I was 14 years old. In 1963 I was on my way to Buenos Aires as a US Foreign Service employee assigned to the US embassy.

My career took a different path, however I watched Foreign Intrigue regularly on a 10 or 12 inch Capehart-Farnsworth television set. The show ran from 1951 thru 1956. As a youngster, I loved the show and it influenced my interest European geography and in foreign automobiles.

14:15 Why would a Parisian hospital use "Operating Room" above a door ? Quite odd, as the shots in the streets show French cars and ads on the walls (Perrier Pschhht)

I saw a blooper at approximately 5:17 there was a hand coming from the backseat area come to rest on the back of the drivers side seat.
