Bavarde mais minutieuse bouchée avec le visage d'un thriller d'espionnage sérieux. Pour l'apprécier, il faut aimer l'atmosphère de l'image et du son en noir et blanc classique, savoir la percevoir avec du recul, vouloir savourer l'interprétation de Karloff, et surtout être attentif, car le film repose sur sa complexité.

More than a good spy spectacle with a perfect atmosphere and a properly sneaky script, which is full of question marks and twists especially towards the end. Boris Karloff is admirably sleazy in places, and it seemed to me that Quentin Tarantino was inspired by him when he wrote the character of Samuel L. Jackson for Django Unchained. I also praise the wartime inserts, the opening aerial duel looks truly perfect and the bombers' raid on the ammunition depots is almost breathtaking (perfect work with miniatures, which are almost impossible to detect).
