ashley h Top Secret Affair is a decent film. It is about the head of a large publishing empire who is dismayed when a top army general is about to be appointed to an atomic energy committee. Kirk Douglas and Susan Hayward give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. H.C. Potter did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the humor. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member ok rom-com old school Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute, fluffy comedy starring two actors not usually associated with the genre. Susan is the take charge magazine owner trying to bulldoze Kirk's Army general, they are well matched and their charisma adds a lot to this slight bit of whimsy. Unmemorable but made pleasant by two great stars. Paul Stewart and Jim Backus add to the film's enjoyment with expert performances. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member interesting drama great cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
