Dark, dark film with Peter Lorre in the director's chair and in the leading role that is inevitably reminiscent of "M".
Story structured in flashbacks that further dissects the figure of Dr Rothe and an equally dark spy environment.
Lorre actually saves a lot in this black-and-white production where the camera plays with shadows and lighting in an often poor, very working-class environment.
There really was no laughing matter. A 3.5 is actually a close call, in my opinion
