Reseñas (1)
A very weak affair. Stories by W. Somerset Maugham set in World War I from the collection "Ashenden: Or the British Agent" (1928) may have promised much, but this time Bennett and Hitchcock delivered a routine spy drama that pretends we're in 1916, but unfortunately not for very long. We meet Madeleine Carroll again, but she's as bland as ever, unfortunately also Peter Lorre again (overacting and wearing a crazy theatrical mask), and anyone looking forward to a young Lilli Palmer will end up being very surprised. The only real interesting thing here is that Hitchcock's Sabotage from the same year is based on the novel "The Secret Agent," so it's wonderfully confusing with this film.
