Storyline

Documentary-style prologue follows training of O.S.S. agents for WWII work behind enemy lines. One of the group is a German "mole;" leaders Gibson and Sharkey are aware of this and scheme to feed him false info about the invasion of Europe, while the real agents go to France to find a secret V-2 rocket depot. But the German spy outsmarts them and rejoins his people knowing too much; Bob Sharkey takes the risk of going in after him. Written by Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>

13 Rue Madeleine: C'est Magnifique! ****
12 April 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

A totally marvelous film depicting the setting up of a spy organization in the U.S. during World War 11.

James Cagney shed his usual tough guy image in gangster films to portray the head of the unit. He is one tough dedicated American.

The film wonderfully captures the training that the prospective spies received. It also tells that one of them is really a German agent.

Annabella is convincing as one of the trainees who yearns for information regarding her missing husband in France.

Richard Conte is quite effective as the German spy who is cunning beyond belief. His cruelty is on par with his fabulous performance years later as Tony Bardman in "I'll Cry Tomorrow."

Though a tragic film, the film should serve to show the dedication of men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War 11.
