Pretty good but


I had a hard time following the plot and making sure I knew who those secondary characters were. Anyway it was great to watch Hedy Lamarr.

Yeah. I've watched this numerous times. Warner through everything and the kitchen sink at this - this is really one incredible cast. The movie has a great look that creates one of the best WW II espionage atmospheres. Yet it all doesn't quite work. The plot is muddled, the script is mediocre, the romance is luke warm. And as many times as I've seen this I just can't buy the contrived ending. But I'll watch it again when it's on in spite of the shortcomings because of the cast and the filming.

I have been watching this off and on and it just is not holding my attention. The film is too much and not enough. It got muddled for me at the beginning and it is just not enjoyable to watch.

It's not an easy watch. There are too many characters that are thinly developed - it's one of the downsides of having an incredible cast in that they all get screen time and you've got to try to figure out how they all fit together. Still, if you are attentive, it all does come together. Multiple viewings helped.
