Many people have mixed feelings about the movie, thinking it lags in spots or was ridiculous ( even Joan Crawford thought that )....but we liked it, and I hope you do too.

My sister and I just enjoyed it so much the first time we watched it and it really captures that Nazi spies/European espionage feel so well....regardless of whether spies actually did hide out in bookshops or secluded chalets.

Actually, I came across that photo on eBay several years ago by accident and that led me to discovering the film - anything with a chess board like that in it has to be worth watching methought.

I'm not sure what I can say about a film in which Fred gets billing over Basil Rathbone and Conrad Veidt!
