5/10
Humdrum; not a waste of time to watch but certainly not worth re-watching
26 April 2021
Eugene Archer's review in the New York Times of 1960 described the plot as 'far-fetched' - an uncontestable claim.

However, he also believes that Strangely, Van Dreelen 'easily out-acts' the other members of the cast. This is more contestable as Van Dreelen seems to follow the Roger Moore school of eyebrow-acting - his left eyebrow is in constant action.

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.
