About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, twisty pre-war spy adventure with humor, romance, and standout suspense sequences; Not for you if you dislike propaganda-tinged politics or convenient plotting—try The Lady Vanishes or The Man Who Knew Too Much for a similar vibe.

Pros: brisk suspenseful set pieces; witty humor; timely wartime intrigue | Cons: plot can feel convoluted; romance feels thin; some stretches of logic
