Plot
British intelligence rescues a scientist from the Nazis.
Sinekatalog’s take
Carol Reed's wartime thriller has British agents rescuing a scientist from the Nazis. Witty, brisk and cleverly plotted, with Rex Harrison and Margaret Lockwood, it is a charming forerunner to The Third Man.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
