Dark Journey (1937)
6/10
An Anglo-German romancer set during WWI that would have been impossible to make a couple of years later
15 August 2020
In 1918, a British woman (Vivien Leigh) runs an exclusive dress shop in Stockholm and travels regularly between Stockholm and Paris. She works secretly as a spy informing the British and passing on bogus information to the Germans. She begins an affair with a German agent (Conrad Veidt) which could compromise her or put her in danger.

Starring a young Vivien Leigh and a typically intense monocled Conrad Veidt, this is an interesting romance - spy story of the variety that would not have been possible to make just a couple of years later. Aspects of the plotting are at times a little confusing, but an overall solid drama.
