Written by: Frank Launder, Sidney Gilliat, Wolfgang Wilhelm and Liam Redmond. Produced by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat. Directed by Frank Laudner Determined, independent Bridie Quilty (Deborah Kerr) comes of age in 1944 Ireland thinking all Englishmen are devils. Her desire to join the IRA meets no encouragement, but a German spy finds her easy to recruit. We next find her working in a pub near a British military prison, using her sex appeal in the service of the enemy. But chance puts a really vital secret into her hands, leading to a chase involving Bridie, a British officer who's fallen for her (Trevor Howard), a German agent unknown to them both, and the police... paralleled by Bridie's own internal conflicts. “This delightful picture comes from the deft duo of Frank Launder and Sydney Gilliat, who excelled at comic suspense. Kerr plays Bridie Quilty, an Irish lass bred to loathe the English, who ends up spying for the Germans during World War II (only because they're against the English and the IRA wouldn't take her). This curious premise leads to delicious intrigue, as Bridie finds herself dumping a body off an English seacoast cliff and chasing around the Isle of Man with two bald policemen.”
