Audience Member A spy drama that requires attention and provides suspense. Filmed at the start of WWII, it offers a solid plot with somewhat unbelievable twists. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review kevin w The lynchpin of this spy thriller is that they don't tell you who is on who's side. Oh, everyone says that they're on this side or the other, yes, but they're probably lying about it. Which raised the stakes considerably. Is she working for the Germans? Is he working for the British? You are never certain, and so when somebody starts with the platitudes about their homeland one is naturally suspect. The inimitable Karloff slithers from one side of the screen to the other, a serpent seeking prey, and this wartime B film soars for it. Good stuff. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is made in 1940 and set during World War I. it is a spy film. It can be kind of boring. There is some action at the beginning and towards the end of the film but the middle of the film it is mostly conversations trying to determine who is working for who and who are the spies. It is kind of a difficult film to follow since this film has double agents as well as talking. It was an alright film but kids would probably be born by the film. There is some trench warfare, German spies, British Intelligence as well as double agents. The film has it's moments. I had difficulties seeing this film the first time determining who was working for who and what exactly the spies were after. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Margaret Lindsay is a secret agent staying in a British official's home as a guest investigating an intelligence leak. Boris Karloff plays the butler, who is also an anent. This spy tale is set during WWI, but the Nazi Germany overtones are unmistakable. Margaret Lindsey is quite good and reminded me of Barbara Stanwyck at times, but it's Karloff who steals the show as the creep, scarred butler spy. It's always a treat to see Karloff in a non-horror role because he did them so rarely.
