That's an interesting question.
Because I looked at the credits in several places, like IMDB. Which is usually quite complete.
I could not find the source material, Strangers on a Bridge there.
If that is true, then what these guys did is really something.
They clearly used that book as a source. But they then disguised their use of it an dibbled the film as Inspired by True Events.
See, they want to have it both ways.
Sorry Stevie and Tommy. I'm not buying it.
And the goofs section doesn't have anything on the anachronism of Donovan meeting with Dulles at CIA after Dulles had been fired. But they do helpfully point out that
"Several pieces of Wedgewood china are seen in a cabinet in Dulles' office. The pattern is "Columbia Sage Green & Gold", which was not made until 1966. ".
OK - good to know.
