Despite director Alfred Hitchcock’s brilliant visual technique, he cannot make this much more than patriotic propaganda designed to persuade the United States to join forces with the British Empire against Nazi Germany. The love story gets short shrift in favor of the plotting, and the sexual chemistry is not present in any case. The usual sexual humor is also therefore weak and we really do not care for the couple because they are little more than stereotypes. This makes the silly plot all the more distracting - as it was not in the similarly-themed but far superior Casablanca.
