Joan Bennett is charming as Clarissa. and together with Anthony Bushell gives the produc tion its full measure of romance. But romance in those "good old days" was simply romance, and no "whoppee" or "necking".
Dor. Lloyd enncts the role of a spy for the Russian Embassy in London. She has hard part which she portrays with credit.
