This movie starts out with a beautiful, young American woman named "Melinda Greyton" (Elizabeth Taylor) attending a formal ball in London and being introduced to a British soldier named "Major Michael Curragh" (Robert Taylor). As it so happens she immediately falls in love with him at first sight. And even though he is at least ten years older, he has the same feelings for her and they get married not long afterward. At first their marriage is like a fairy tale romance but then she notices that he suddenly begins to leave unexpectedly in the afternoon for one reason or another and she begins to suspect that he is hiding something from her. Little does she know just how right she is. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film started off rather slow and only began getting interesting around the halfway mark. At least, that is how it appeared it me. Additionally, while the drama and acting were quite good, I thought the lack of suspense was clearly evident and gave the overall film a rather tepid quality. In short, although it wasn't a bad spy movie by any means, it clearly had some faults and because of that I have rated it accordingly. Average.
