4. What's the name of Michael's project that was canceled?

Answer: Gamma Five

The East Germans intend to get information on Gamma Five, while Michael intends to get information from them.

5. Is Michael actually defecting to the East Germans?

Answer: No

It's very confusing. He tells Sarah he's going to Switzerland to work for the Swiss, then Sarah finds out he's actually going to East Berlin (which was behind the Iron Curtain then) and then she thinks he's defecting-all the East Germans think so, too (which is good for them).

When Sarah won't coorperate, Michael 'combined logic with romantic consistancy' and explained to her that he wasn't really defecting, he was just pretending he was so he could get information for East German Prof. Lindt.

Sarah was in fact with Michael in his room...

After Michael says this, Sarah says 'Michael, I'd say that was a very unscientific line.' And he says 'I'm not a scientist, I'm a teacher.' She says: 'You're a scientist. You're supposed to respect natural order in all things. Breakfast comes before lunch...ow (he nibbles her ear a little TOO hard)...and marriage should come before a honeymoon cruise.'

12. Did Paul Newman and Julie Andrews get along while filming?
