The Iron Curtain

What Was Behind Their Mission... THIS TERROR?

The Iron Curtain dramatizes the real 1945 case of Igor Gouzenko, a Soviet cipher clerk played by Dana Andrews. After training, he was posted to the USSR Embassy in Ottawa during World War II. Gouzenko eventually defected with 109 pages of material that implicated high-level Canadian officials and outlined efforts to obtain nuclear bomb details through sleeper cells across North America. When columnist Drew Pearson publicized the case in early 1946, it sparked a scandal involving Canada, Britain, and the United States.
