The general whimsicality of the picture is weary but Miss Dietrich does what she can with the laborious charade. Go to Full Review

The great Marlene has a blast with the role, as if she's super aware she's miscast. The script is cheese, so she refuses to take it too seriously, camping it up at every turn and taking control of each situation. Go to Full Review

georgan g 12/03/2021 This silly plot doesn't go anywhere or make any sense. Marlene Dietrich is in brown make-up, as a gypsy, fawns over an American soldier who has no interest in her even touching him. Yet, he ends up going to her at the end. See more 09/11/2014 A really unique film, with a role in which I think Ray Milland is one of the few actors that could have pulled it off. The on-screen chemistry between him and Marlene Dietrich is wonderful, and you end up rooting for them all the way. See more 06/22/2014 A strange Nazi twist, with Dietrich glowing, and a nice old fashioned romance brewing... Dietrich plays an earthy gypsy with a heart of gold--Absorbing, plausible, wonderfully entertaining!! See more 03/22/2013 A former British spy recalls his wartime journey through Germany with a Gypsy woman. Dietrich cast as a dark skinned gypsy woman is delightfully bizarre, but Milland and her do not share much of a spark. It's a mildly entertaining film with some amusing moments, but not very memorable. See more 10/03/2011 Not bad romance/spy adventure. Somewhat predictable though. See more 07/28/2009 A very lightweight film--decent enough to pass the time. See more Read all reviews
