5/10
A different kind of war story
16 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I SEE A DARK STRANGER is an interesting little spy thriller from the period, quite unusually featuring an anti-heroine as the lead character. Later Hollywood starlet Deborah Kerr puts in a top job as a committed young Irish nationalist who ends up spying for her side during WW2, romancing Trevor Howard as part of the scheme. It's fairly dated as are many features from this era, but the uniqueness of the situation along with the usual exemplary performances you see in British cinema (Raymond Huntley is particularly strong here) make it worthwhile.
