Crypted code tattooed on a woman's back make people murder for it

This is a rather weird spy thriller comedy with a lot of confusion into it, and not until towards the end the actions begin to make some sense and be interesting. Ray Milland and Paulette Goddard are always good and reliable as actors, they seldom disappointed any audience, and without them the film would have been nothing. Roland Young adds to the comedy, he is always an amusing success, but for the story, it is far-fetched and nonsensical and as far from any hint at realism as any constructed fiction yarn about spying could be. The finale is great, but before that there are just a tremendous lot of confusing loose ends of intrigue that stink of being just constructed to make some entertainment.
