Review of Garbo: The Spy

8/10
A fine documentary

Warning: Spoilers
Having learned about Juan Pujol Garcia quite some time ago, I was fascinated to find out that somebody had made a movie about him. Granted, this was not what I would expect (somebody else can surely make a true dramatic version of his incredible story), but I found this to be very entertaining. I admit I like quirky styles, so the offbeat interviewers identities hidden until halfway through the film, the odd music selections (which grew more likable as the movie progressed) and the numerous film clips interspersed with the rest of the story made for just my flavor. The humor is palpable and the movie is memorable on many levels. It would be great if more people knew of the incredible heroics of the secretive man from Catalan and his brave deeds.
