7/10
Pride in heritage.
23 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Frank Launder directs an enjoyable comedic drama starring the lovely Deborah Kerr, who plays Bridie, an unsophisticated Irish lass with an inherited hatred toward the British. When she reaches 21, she leaves her tiny village and travels alone to Dublin in hopes of signing up to fight the British only to find out that Ireland is not exactly fighting the Brits at all. She returns home disappointed, but still full of fight. Somehow she gets involved with a Nazi secret agent and agrees to carryout his mission against their common foe.

Scenery and atmosphere fitting with the intrigue. Kerr is excellent and has a way of playing comedy with a straight face. Or maybe its just the role that lacks sophistication. There is no doubt about her camera appeal. Also starring are: Trevor Howard, Raymond Huntley, Norman Shelley, Tom Macaulay and Liam Redmond.
