The story is told for maximum mass comprehension. Based on the articles by Leon G. Turrou, former G-man, it is an adaptation of the spy trials of 1937 which resulted in the conviction of four persons.
Director Anatole Litvak has paced the film well, the performances of Edward G. Robinson as the Federal man, Francis Lederer as the weak link in the Nazi spy network and Paul Lukas as the propaganda agent are thoroughly satisfactory.
