WOW!! I had no conception of how difficult it is to be a spy. If I only smoked half of my cigarette, why would I not be conserving a precious commodity?? Hmmm, some suggestions to blend in seem counter- intuitive. These guys look like zombies with their shoulders hunched up, walking irregular, and that stare would cause much suspicion imho.
I found it fascinating that this would even be shown on TV and first thought it was a tongue-in-cheek fictionalized training program. But the OSS was the pre-cursor to the CIA I believe and figured this espionage deal was new?? HUH? Didn't our dear General Washington use spies consistently to get a heads up on the British positions and spread disinformation like no tomorrow??
High recommend for anyone who has an interest or ever read Spy stories, magazines, TV shows or films. Hilarity ensues round every corner, these guys are terrible and prove no example that would prevent capture, torture, and well, demise. Thanks TCM for fascinating entertainment!
