YMMV / Eye of the Needle

• Idiot Ball: One wonders why Inspector Godliman doesn't simply tell Lucy that Faber is a German agent, instead of just telling her to destroy her radio without further context.
• Jerkass Woobie: David, in spades.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Billy is set up as Faber's nemesis with a personal vendetta against him, only to be unceremoniously killed off by Faber on the train and never mentioned again.
• Villain Ball: Faber never seems to consider that Lucy might find David's body, nor does he ever take any precautionary measures to stop that from happening.
