Jack Hawkins plays an English officer spying from within Hitler's high command and forever under the watchful eye of the Gestapo.
This is an enjoyable, sometimes tense, if rather hard to swallow spy story, held nicely together by director De Toth and the always reliable and very British Jack Hawkins who is particularly impressive herewhen taking advantage of Hitler's absurd self belief. Good support from Felix Aylmer as his British contact and interesting to see Ronald Hines, Donald Pleasence and Michael Caine in very early bit parts.
