Curiosidades
The working title of this picture was "Career Man". It was released little over four months after another socially conscious Warner anti-Nazi film, Confissões de um Espião Nazista (1939). This was before America's involvement in WWII, when other studios were reluctant to antagonize the Germans. Reviews compared the film to Confissões de um Espião Nazista (1939) because of its exposé about espionage. The theme of Nazi Germany trying to disable the industrial capabilities of the U.S. would be taken up again in Alfred Hitchcock's "Saboteur" (1942), after America's entry into the war.

Joel McCrea is a member of the foreign service who inadvertently marries a part-time spy in "Espionage Agent." This is a very interesting film for several reasons. War is about to break out in Europe, and the U.S. is planning to stay neutral, and in fact, in one scene, an American broadcaster gives a call for neutrality.

After getting into the U.S. on a forged passport, McCrea's wife, played by the darkly beautiful Brenda Marshall, confesses her past associations, and states that she's been approached to do more favors for an espionage group. McCrea resigns his post, and with his wife's help, sets out to expose the spy network in the U.S.

In the aftermath of 9/11, watching a 67-year-old film where a group of people have agents in place throughout the country and sites ready to bomb is chilling.

There are some tense, exciting scenes and an attractive cast, but the film is more of historical interest than anything else. Look for TV Superman George Reeves in a very small, uncredited role.
