Anecdotes
Originally intended to be a vehicle for William Powell and Myrna Loy, Rosalind Russell was brought in as Loy was "on strike" for better pay after the huge success of L'introuvable (1934).

Gaffes
This movie takes place during World War I. The map of France on Lt. Gordon's office wall includes Alsace and Lorraine, which weren't returned to France until after the war.

Joel Carter: But you could come back over weekends.
Lieutenant Bill Gordon: Or we could get the Germans to come right down to Paris, then I wouldn't have to leave you at all. No, darling, you can do just as much harm here as you could in Paris.

Interesting even if flawed

Not an often shown film, nor a great one, this is worth your time if TCM ever shows it again. The plot is somewhat dated but nevertheless interesting -- code breaking and spy catching -- if you ignore some of the excesses that were probably added by Hollywood. Folding in comedy, drama, and action into what would probably have made an excellent military training film, we are left unsatisfied with the overall effect. Yet there is a hint of the "Thin Man" chemistry between William Powell and Rosalind Russell that brings a smile to your lips. Fair but I am not sorry that I watched it.
