Reviews:

A mystery wrapped in an Enigma
As a WW2 buff I am reasonably au fait with the deceptions around the Normandy landings. However that was not really relevant as the film provides enough information for any viewer.

In a quirky film that teases you along it is a little gem and a great story – but true story. The director manges to in a sense bamboozle the viewer so what is true and what is mirage is not really explicit until one is gripped by the tale. The inter-cutting of news reels and fictional spy movies provides atmosphere and refreshes the memory on what a confused arena Europe was in the thirties and forties.

I defy anyone not to be better informed and amused by this excellent film.

A Disappointment
Garbo was a Spanish secret agent during World War II who sold his independent services to the Nazis, while really working for the allies. His brilliantly imaginative approach to espionage was to invent dozens of fictional subordinate spies, then make up false information to feed to the Germans.

This potentially interesting subject was spoiled by an odd attempt at a documentary that appears to have been intended to be artistic and funny, rather than informational. The film bounces back and forth between talking heads who remain unidentified until halfway through, and clips from old B movies. All this is accompanied by irrelevant, anachronistic music and silly science fiction sound effects. The overall result is unfocused, annoying, and almost unwatchable.
