Curiosidades
This was the final film Joan Crawford made under her long-term contract with MGM, where she had been for the past eighteen years. Frustrated at being continuously offered what she considered second rate scripts, shortly after completing this, Crawford chose to buy out her studio contract (at great personal expense) and continue her career elsewhere. It was nearly two years later that she appeared in her next leading role, Alma en suplicio (1945) at Warner Brothers, for which she won the 1945 Academy Award as Best Actress.

Pifias
The song that represents Oxford in the film is the Eton Boating Song.

American honeymooners (Fred MacMurray, Joan Crawford) are recruited by British government to spy on the Nazis just before WW2 starts. They have to contend with Nazi Basil Rathbone and a host of others who may or may not be on their side. Decent wartime thriller with some light comic touches. MacMurray and Crawford both do fine, though it doesn't seem like the part quite fits Joan. This was her last movie for MGM before departing for Warner Bros. Nice support from Rathbone and Conrad Veidt. It's the kind of movie that you feel could have been so much better in the hands of a different director and perhaps different leads. Joan reportedly wanted Alfred Hitchcock to direct. It does seem somewhat up his alley but he certainly would have had the script rewritten significantly. I'm sure it would have been a much better film with Hitch at the helm. As it is, though, it's an agreeable time-passer. I love Fred MacMurray's closing line.
