When the police are at the hotel checking the IDs of the two spies (Peppard and Courtenay), they are speaking German with the innkeeper. At one point she hands an ID to one of the police officers and he responds "thank you". Oops...
shareIf you mean the first time the Police come to the hotel and then subsequently take one of the passports with them, then no, he says Danke.
shareThe police officer also pronounces the name "Buys" something like "bjew-is" but neither a german or a dutchman would pronounce it like that. Even the Buys character who is supposed to be from Holland doesn't pronounce it right. Come to think of it, the english language simply doesn't have something sounding like that (the "ui" or "uy" sound).
But I liked the dutch angle of the movie, especially since Buys did his ballistic studies in Den Helder, the place where I was born. :-)
Den Helder is the dutch naval base, by the way, so that detail made sense.
Tom Courtenay's character was named Jakob Bijus (Ya-koob Bee-yoos).
The restitution of life is no great feat. A variety of deaths may well enter into your punishment
