Van Johnson - always a 'B' actor, B-- here, compared with 'The Last Blitzkrieg' where he was more B+.
Having watched a lot of film noir material and Nazi-themed films during the long Covid-19 period 2020-1, this was not exactly scraping the bottom of the barrel (viz. George Montgomery in 'Bomb at 10.10' (1967), but one to be wary of.
