Tockinit not horrible nor great

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

kevin olzak 1940's "Enemy Agent" was one of the few non genre titles included in Universal's SHOCK! package of classic horror films issued to television in the late 50's. Despite that status, all remain quite obscure today, and it's no surprise that this routine espionage tale never appeared on Pittsburgh's CHILLER THEATER. Richard Cromwell (1930's "Tol'able David," 1933's "This Day and Age"), former early talkie heartthrob whose screen career was already winding down, stars as aircraft designer Jimmy Saunders, framed as a spy by fellow plant worker Lester Taylor (Vinton Hayworth), who is the actual culprit working for a duplicitous doctor (Philip Dorn). Second billed is forgotten actress Helen Vinson, also nearing the end of her acting career, as a waitress with a taste for the high life, leaving poor Jimmy in the capable hands of younger waitress Peggy O'Reilly (Marjorie Reynolds), who is secretly in love with him. The villains make their big mistake when they decide that Jimmy should be bumped off in another city, which allows the down-on-his-luck loser to turn the tables and clear himself. Not to be confused with the famous director Jack Arnold ("It Came from Outer Space," "Creature from the Black Lagoon," "The Incredible Shrinking Man"), Vinton Hayworth later became better known as General Schaefer on TV's I DREAM OF JEANNIE, with more familiar faces like third billed Robert Armstrong, Russell Hicks, Jack La Rue, Jack Carson, Milburn Stone, Robert E. Homans, Eddy C. Waller, Charles Williams, and James Craig.

fibbermac Spies are after the plans for the B-17 flying fortress and it's revolutionary bomb-sight. One of the engineers working on the project (Richard Cromwell) is unjustly accused by a federal agent (Robert Armstrong) of delivering the plans to a spy ring led by Dr. Jeffrey Arnold (Philip Dorn). How he turns the tables on the spy ring is the story this film tells.Sounds like an interesting WWII anti-Nazi propaganda flick, doesn't it? The kind Hollywood churned out night and day during the war? But the interesting thing here is that this film was released over a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Hollywood was already taking sides and had fingered the Nazis as the bad guys. Although it's true that the nation behind the spy ring isn't specifically named,... by accent, dress, and demeanor these spies are clearly meant to appear German.Unfortunately, this film has a few things working against it. There's the love interest that isn't all that interesting. A strange scene calling for the hero to strike a woman (clearly awkward for all involved). Plus a few plot twists that really defy logic. But the main flaw in my eyes was casting Richard Cromwell as the lead. Although Cromwell was roughly 30 years old at the time this film was made, his youthful appearance makes him look way too young to be an aircraft engineer. He looks like he should be selling newspapers on the corner instead of designing top-secret military aircraft.Working in this film's favor are some familiar faces that turn up as the plot progresses. Robert Armstrong (King Kong) is the G-man. Abner Biberman (His Girl Friday, Gunga Din) plays one of the spy ring's henchmen. And Jack Carson (A Star is Born, Arsenic and Old Lace) pops up late in the film as a drunken party-goer.Never released on video or DVD, one has to try hard to find a copy of this film. And I'm not sure why you'd want to.
