Diplomatic Courier-Cloak & Dagger At its Best ***1/2, 3 May 2008
8/10
Author: edwagreen from United States

Wonderful Tyrone Power vehicle that will have you guessing every minute along the way.

When Power is assigned to deliver important papers, the person who is to receive them can't retrieve them and is eventually murdered. Suspicion centers on Hildegarde Knef, who does quite well in this film.

Patricia Neal is in fine form as a wealthy looking widow of an official who comes along and tries to romance Power along the way. What else is this conniving woman up to?

Diplomatic intrigue hasn't been this good in years. Power is sympathetic and will rescue Neff at the end when it appears that she has been truthful to him throughout the film.
