Rating: 2/4 --
A depressing film that might have made more sense with a screenplay by someone like Graham Greene.

TV Guide
In the unfolding of the major theme the story lacks dramatic intensity, and little effort is made to justify the action of the central character.

Maybe no one could make this dialogue sound like anything but a drama school student saying "How now, brown cow" for the first time.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Hollywood's two most famous Taylors take center stage in this atmospheric spy thriller spawned by the early days of the Cold War and filmed on location in London and the English countryside.
Making a move into more adult roles, 17-year-old Elizabeth Taylor plays the giddy young wife of a British Army officer (Robert Taylor). Their whirlwind romance and storybook marriage take a sudden, alarming turn when she discovers her handsome husband is a Communist agent under orders to perform acts of espionage. Torn between allegiance to her heart and to her country, she harbors her terrible secret, hoping her spouse will change his traitorous ways. But when her knowledge is secret no longer, she soon becomes a target."
