On its release the critics were, for once, as thrilled by it as audiences. Now it's passed over while other popular films such as the Gainsborough melodramas are rehabilitated. Script adapt . Valerie Hobson goes undercover to expose a plot to sink the British fleet in WW1 and falls for German Conrad Veidt. Excellent spy thriller which marked the first collaboration of Powel and Pressburger.
Script adapt .
Emeric Pressburger, Roland Pertwee. Okay vehicle for Norman Wisdom . The plot is rubbish but Hattie Jacques is wonderful as a bit of Teutonic tottie.
