@Headbanger69 It is here -> https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061908/ 

May we ask where are you located for Escape from the KGB to be the local title? 

If you are ever unable to locate a title by name, but you know some of the people involved, the Colloborations search at https://www.imdb.com/search/common/ can usually help.  In this case -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?roles=nm0055812,nm0221527&title_type=feature,tv_episode,video,tv_movie,tv_special,mini_series,documentary,game,short 

Hope this helps.

@Col_Needham​ Thx for the quick reply. I am in the U.S. and I found this title in an old Video Movie Guide book (1991) I still have. It listed the wrong year. I was also wondering why when you search Escape From the KGB that Code Name: KIll comes up but further down the list (27th) than one would expect since it is listed as an aka title under World-wide?

Thx

@Headbanger69​ Thanks for confirming.  We have just added it as an additional US AKA since it was listed using that title in a US publication.  It may help the search results tomorrow. 

In addition to the closeness of the match to the title text, popularity plays a part and this is quite an obscure title. It is already the top match when “exact matches” is selected -> https://www.imdb.com/find/?q=escape%20from%20the%20kgb&s=tt&exact=true&ref_=fn_tt_ex but getting AKA matches correct is a tricky balance otherwise.
