Review – They Made Her a Spy

And after that they made me fall asleep. The first time I tried to watch this I dropped off almost immediately, and the second time (after a decent night’s rest) I started to drift a bit in the middle. For the parts I managed to stay awake through, this dwelled somewhere between an average pre-war propaganda piece and an Ed Wood movie. Our heroine becomes an intelligence operative after her brother is killed by Nazi saboteurs. Or at least I think the bad guys are German. Apparently in 1939 RKO was a bit cagier than the folks at Warner about exactly who we were going to end up fighting. Despite the dull story and wooden dialogue, I’ve seen worse spy movies. Mildly amusing
