First things first, this is a romance with some Nazis - it is pretty devoid of action and although the settings and uniforms might indicate otherwise, it is certainly not a film for those who like much going on. Basically, the smouldering Leslie-Anne Down is "Margaret" who is so loyal to her undercover agent husband that she falls hook line and sinker for visiting American pilot "Halloran" (Harrison Ford). She doesn't mention her husband to her new beau, but serendipity has taken a dim view of her antics so when "Halloran" is charged with ferrying a British agent into France, and their plane gets shot down - he discovers that his passenger "Sellinger" (Christopher Plummer) and he have quite a few more things in common than just a desire to escape... I always thought Downs was a pretty one-dimensional actress who looked good but acted as if she, well, knew she looked good. Ford and Plaummer don't really gel - not that either are on particularly good form here, either - and though there is a peppering of familiar faces throughout, this film was just made 20 years too late, the writing is pretty banal and on the whole, it is completely forgettable.
