Review of The Spies

The Spies (1957)
7/10
A low 7

Warning: Spoilers
A confusing film that resolves itself by the end, although I wasn't sure what "side" all the characters were on (or even if they were all spies). It starts out strong, but the (black) comedy angle bugged me. I was simultaneously annoyed and confused in the middle of the film. The acting and direction is great, but I wouldn't NOT want to see it again.

An issue that I haven't seen brought up by other reviewers is the doctor's questionable methods. I guess it's done for comedic value, but it's not a real COMEDY....so it's hard to view as funny. He's a bad doctor! I actually thought in the end he might not even be a real doctor.
