Top Secret Affair is a 1957 American romantic comedy film made by Carrollton Inc. and distributed by Warner Bros. that stars Susan Hayward and Kirk Douglas.

It was directed by H. C. Potter and produced by Martin Rackin and Milton Sperling from a screenplay by Roland Kibbee and Allan Scott.

Hollywood avoided filming the novel for years because of its touchy subject matter: a married general's affair with a wealthy journalist.

The music score was by Roy Webb, the cinematography by Stanley Cortez and costume design by Charles LeMaire.

Melville Goodwin (Kirk Douglas), a decorated U.S. Army general, is appointed chairman of the Joint Atomic International Commission by the President.

But headstrong Dottie Peale (Susan Hayward), a high-powered media mogul, wants a close friend of her father's to get the position.

Later, back in Long Island, Dottie, a little tipsy herself, falls off the diving board of her estate's swimming pool.
