Overview
The story of Jake Webster, an American expatriate in Vienna who was the operator of Jake's Bar & Grill, an American-style establishment near the scenic heart of the city. In fact, the business was a cover for Jake's actual reason for being in Vienna. He was involved in tracking down various spies and international criminals at the behest of U.S. intelligence, which apparently held something against him which, if disclosed, would have resulted in his being deported from Austria and apparently then incarcerated in the United States. Jake's liaison with U.S. intelligence was a Major Caldwell.

Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict, set during the Cold War, inherently frames the defense of Western interests against a communist threat, aligning with themes of national security and patriotism. The narrative likely champions effective intelligence operations and individual heroism as solutions to these geopolitical challenges.
The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white male ensemble, consistent with spy thrillers of its era. The narrative does not appear to offer critical portrayals of traditional identities or center explicit DEI themes, focusing instead on its espionage plot.
Secondary
The film 'Assignment: Vienna' is a spy thriller from the early 1970s. There is no information or evidence to suggest the presence of any LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its storyline or character arcs. Therefore, the film does not offer any portrayal, positive, negative, or neutral, of LGBTQ+ identities.
Information regarding specific combat scenes for this 1972 television series is limited. Based on available plot summaries and character descriptions, there is no indication of female characters engaging in or winning direct physical combat against male opponents.
Assignment: Vienna is an original television series from 1972. Its characters were created for the show and do not originate from prior source material, historical records, or earlier established canons. Therefore, there are no instances of characters whose gender was swapped from a pre-existing baseline.
Paul Chan, a canonically Chinese character, is portrayed by George Takei, who is Japanese. Both Chinese and Japanese fall within the broader East Asian racial category. Therefore, this is an ethnic/nationality shift, not a race swap, per the definition's exclusions.
