Trivia

The spy novel referenced is "N or M?" which was published in 1941. After publication, she was investigated by MI5 because the character Major Bletchley shared a name with the code-breaking center Bletchley Park. When asked about the name, she replied "Bletchley? My dear, I was stuck there on my way by train from Oxford to London and took revenge by giving the name to one of my least lovable characters."

User Reviews

Disappointing

More than a little muddled, poorly acted and with rather a lot of bad language not typical of the period in which it is set.
