Goofs
George Sanders, an Englishman, is prepared to take the place of his exact double, a German officer in World War I. His appearance is changed, he studies all the details of the officer's life, but...no one asks him if he speaks German. And even if he did, it would have been with a distinctively strong British accent.

Sanders at his best

This movie is a real must see for Sanders fans. It's an adaptation of the "Prisoner of Zenda"...Sanders plays an unwilling part in a Great War "sting", to capture vital enemy secrets, due to his uncanny resemblance to a top German officer. The result is an action packed thriller with a nice quirky ending. Watch out for Dolores Del Rio as a splendid Marta Hari figure....just darn excellent!
