William Holden in on of his better roles as a swedish diplomat working in the Oil industry before the start of WW2 an american living in Sweden. The Brits "blackmail" him into spying for them using his "contacts" inside Germany. We dislike Eric Erickson (Holden ) from the start. he is only to himself and money. As he travels deep into Nazi Germany he encounters a loyal german spy (Lilli Palmer) as the lovely Countess who for religious reasons is willing to help the allies spy. Shot in Germany based on the Alexander Klein's book the TRUE tale of the loyal and germans who are willing to spy but know they will die if caught. clever on Holdens trail are two Gestapo agents who he has to elude while trying to escape. Excellent plot it flows and we are not bored. the Best part is watching Holdens TRANSFORMATION FROM the ever so "I only care about myself" to a person willing to spy because he knows it will help end the war a little sooner and he then earns our respect~!also worth watching....the kid who needs a spanking is the Nazi Hans....he IS good~ we see the Nazi propaganda pounded into his little head and how it affects HIM~ beautiful scenery and the costumes are outstanding. Lilli Palmer is wonderful as a woman who cannot run from her own conscience~ one of the BEST spy movies out of WW2 I give it a solid 9 out of 10.

Absolutely Fantastic and Thrilling Espionage Gem!! Expertly written with masterful pace and suspense. William Holden's performance in this is his best, in my opinion, and I have seen all of his best known films. His added periodic narration adds alot, as Lloyd Bridges efforts did in the Sea Hunt TV series. Really First Rate. You won't want to leave your seat - even if you have to go to the bathroom.
