One of the worst John Wayne pictures, actually more of a Joan Crawford-MGM fake vehicle, in which she plays a French model engaged to a seemingly pro-Nazi industrialist designer (played by Philip Dorn). Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Oct 6, 2005

Ineffective wartime flagwaver that's all over the map as both a spy story and a woman's pic. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D @RT35616104 Jan 16, 2024 Despite a good story it is miss-cast and sappy. See more Jan 3, 2021 Good yarn, even if a bit farfetched. John Wayne was miscast and the character he played was not credible. We can never know how bad it was to live in occupied France. See more May 26, 2016 Pretty dreadful film. Crawford doesn't even bother with a French accent! How lazy is that? The other performances are forgettable as well. See more Nov 29, 2015 There are many roles John Wayne did excellently, however romantic wartime melodrama is not one of them. A wordy bore, John Wayne playing a downed American RAF pilot posing as American student at age 35 is even for me too far a stretch of the imagination. Casablanca it most certainly isn't. See more Jan 18, 2015 A film worth watching and adding to your collection.... See more Dec 13, 2014 love how they met :D See more Read all reviews
