nick s @Nick_S 08/05/2024 Deborah Kerr was charming and well supported by the other actors. The tone seemed to change over the course of the movie, which was a bit of a shame in my opinion. It started off quite atmospheric and intriguing but finished off slapstick and improbable. Felt as if another director took over the helm half way through.

Terrible flaw with Miller's duplicate hat after he dies. I really don't see how that error slipped through. See more SICKS6SIX @sicks6six 07/10/2022 British movies at their best. It's a who done it. It's over hammed and very tongue in cheek made in 47 and looks and feels like ww2. You could be in the cinema during blackout waiting for the national anthem before heading home on the bus with fish and chips. It takes you back to that time very well. It doesn't seem dated you fell like going back to simpler times. See more 12/30/2017 Deborah Kerr sparkles in this witty British spy yarn. See more 11/17/2014 I See A Dark Stranger (1945) Sidney Gilliat, Wolfgang Wilhelm and Frank Launder made a great post-war/spy movie that also pokes a little fun at the Irish. A head-strong young Irish woman Bridie Quilty (Deborah Kerr), growing up hearing the stories of the Irish Republican Army, leaves town to join the IRA herself. She meets up with a Nazi spy, Miller (Raymond Huntley) who has her doing reconnaissance work to break a fellow spy out of prison, who has valuable plans of the D Day invasion. She also needs to occupy the time of a British soldier, David Bynes (Trevor Howard) who is suspected of being military intelligence. Lt. Bynes is actually in town doing his thesis about Cromwell, which pushes Bridie's Anti-British buttons to the max. Somehow, they are attracted to each other through all of their travels.
