During World War I, a novelist declared dead is recruited by British intelligence and sent to Switzerland under a new identity to assassinate a German spy.

Viewing Notes
Interesting little movie with a weird, anti-climactic ending. Lorre’s “hairless Mexican” character is pretty fun. He has some great comedic scenes right in the middle of things including the bathroom freakout scene and at the train station near the end.
