Secret Mission

James Mason, a French soldier named Raoul, and three British Intelligence personnel, Maj. Peter Garnett (Hugh Williams), Capt. Red Gowan (Roland Culver) and Pvt. Nobby Clark (Michael Wilding), enter occupied France to gather military information on German strength. With the help of local Resistance fighters, the spies make a risky visit to Boche headquarters posing as champagne salesmen to get German troop strength info and then pass it onto the Brits so the Allied paratroopers can launch an attack on the Nazi position. Raoul’s confused sister Michele (Carla Lehmann) reluctantly helps after resisting and in the process falls in love with the stoic Peter. —Ozus’ World Movie Reviews
