Good on 20th Century Fox for making a film where the lead character is a German spy – but it’s a cracking good yarn, with a terrific role for James Mason (who played the lead in another Fox film about a German, The Desert Fox). Very suspenseful, with Mason trying to get money and giving good intelligence, but not quite being believed. Solid twists – England send an agent, there’s a girl involved (an aristocrat who knew Mason way back when, played by his real-life wife Pamela), the money is counterfeit, etc.
Australia’s Michael Pate did the narration.
