Long before James Bond hit our screens, Alfred Hitchcock made this Bond type movie and I found Secret Agent quite enjoyable, even though there isn't an awful lot of action in it.
A pair of English agents, pretending to be husband and wife are sent to Switzerland to look for a German agent out there. The investigation eventually leads them to a chocolate factory, where they track him down. At the end, the two English agents fall in love for real.
Though a little slow moving at times, Secret Agent is quite gripping and has some good scenery thrown in too.
The cast includes John Gielgud, Peter Lorre (The Beast With Five Fingers, Mad Love), Madeleine Carroll, Robert Young and Lili Palmer. Good parts from all.
Though no James Bond, Secret Agent is worth a look. Check it out.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
