It's spring time 1918. A passenger ship is stopped by a German U-boat. They start rounding up non-neutral citizens as spies. Madeleine Goddard (Vivien Leigh) avoids being taken and travels to her Stockholm dress shop. She's actually a German spy delivering allied troop movements with her dresses. Former German soldier Baron Karl Von Marwitz (Conrad Veidt) arrives in Sweden. He's seen as a deserter by other soldiers.
I don't buy the romance but I'm more than happy to buy the spy vs spy. Veidt does not look like a romantic lead but he does look like an espionage villain. I like the switcheroo. I just can't buy the romance. I do not ship them.
