Cipher Bureau (1938)
3/10
Life in the army code bureau
9 February 2021
Leon Ames is the star of Cipher Bureau a rather hurried espionage melodrama where he and girl Friday Charlotte Wynters crack enemy codes and foil foreign plots. During lunch they have an office romance going.

In this story Ames makes use of his navy brother Don Dillaway's talent for radio communication. Dillaway gets into the hands of cut rate Mata Hari Joan Woodbury and he gets into a real jackpot.

Cipher Bureau was a product of poverty row Grand National Studio. Apparently the powers that were at Grand National thought that Ames and Wynters would be a screen team and a sequel was made, God only knows why.

Skip this and the worse sequel Panama Patrol.
