An effective WW2 movie.
Sally Maitland leaves behind her family, for a new life in Halifax, Canada. Having lived in Germany for some time, Sally is seen as a Nazi sympathiser, mistrusted even by her nearest and dearest. Sally is watched throughout her journey.
It's an enjoyable enough spy thriller from the 1940's, what makes this film all the more interesting, is the fact that it was made in the middle of the second world war, so it's somewhat different to the films that were made at the end of the war.
It's well made and well acted, it's a very attractive looking film, and definitely an interesting story, the burning question you'll have going in, is Sally a Nazi sympathiser or not, it doesn't take too long to work it out.
Anna Neagle and Richard Greene are both excellent, a hugely glamorous duo, both of whom had a real screen presence, both were excellent, I can't help but think the film was stolen however, by Margaret Rutherford, a small role, but a hugely effective one.
7/10.
