Jerald M Great to see Margaret Rutherford I thought she was the secret villain. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Gep150 G WW2 low budget spy film. Rather surprisingly good acting and good plot. For its time it is packed with twists and turns. Enjoyable to watch unless you only enjoy blockbusters. Captures the concern and worries of wartime espionage and counter espionage in a way that feels authentic. Given the central plot and strong acting parts it is hard to know why this has not been remade in the modern era. Spies, twists, ships, Nazis, femme and home fatales. Under rated. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Peter C Not to badly made for an old Movie, but it surprises me how many females smoked while making the movie. I realistic terms they must have stunk. and to be fair same with the men. I wonder if this story really happened ?
