A clever boy evacuee (played by a very young but ever cunning George Cole) from London arrives in a Scottish village to stay in the house of the Barringtons, she a socialite, he a British scientist developing a bomb.
Be warned: there are quick twists and surprises in this cloak and dagger spy thriller!
It also carries far more action than I would expect in an Anthony Asquith-directed flick. Photography is competent in spite of war-prompted shortages and restrictions. Despite the good humor and likeable characters, the exciting script reminds us all of how suspicious everyone was - and had to be - of everybody else at that time.
Good acting from Cole, Sim and Mills. Carla Lehmann is gorgeous.
Riveting war adventure - definitely worth watching!
