It doesn't always have to be caviar Es muß nicht immer Kaviar sein C'est pas toujours du caviar
Movie Poster
It doesn't always have to be caviar is a 1961 German-French adaptation of the novel of the same name by Johannes Mario Simmel. Thomas Lieven, a dutiful employee of a London bank, would have preferred to pursue his passion as a hobby cook at home, rather than bringing seemingly harmless bank documents to Berlin on behalf of his boss. As soon as they arrived in Germany, the completely puzzled Thomas was forced to cooperate by the counterintelligence agency and the Gestapo and sent to Paris with a fake passport. Back in London, Secret Service agents are already waiting for the supposed French double agent.
