SPY HUNT – 1950 Cold War Espionage Classic Decoded!

Dan and Tom decode SPY HUNT, a 1950 espionage B movie. And they don't agree on this one.

SPY HUNT was based on the book "Panther's Moon" by Victor Canning. It has espionage, a MacGuffin, a train, a dead drop, escaped black panthers, a budding romance, and quite a few interesting characters.

Dan and Tom call out some interesting plot points that may have been influenced by earlier movies such as THE LADY VANISHES, THE 39 STEPS, and others.

In addition, you'll find out what a black panther really is. We're sure you've lost sleep trying to figure that out.

Above all, they look at some places where SPY HUNT may have influenced spy movies that followed, including one very interesting piece of dialogue. How much influence did this movie have on the James Bond franchise?
