4/10
All talk, no action
28 January 2024
"David Harding, Counterspy" is a low-budgeter almost exclusively populated by indistinguishable men in suits, mouthing enough hard-boiled dialogue ("when somebody throws surprises my way, I throw punches") to fry an egg factory. Ironically, the only source of life comes from the single female cast member, the beautiful (if little-known) Audrey Long, as a woman caught between dual loyalties. Apparently this was based on a popular at the time radio series: on radio obviously you only need dialogue to get the story across, but on the screen you need to visualize it as well, and this film lacks the means to do that. *1/2 out of 4.
