Movie Reviews

Film4 - 9/10 by Daniel EtheringtonThe Spy In Black may fall short of being a classic, but you can't argue with just how thought-provoking a film it is -- and it's a gripping, entertaining wartime thriller to boot.
Time Out - 9/10 by Derek AdamsDarkness, foreboding and regret, rather than any sense of propaganda, dominate this extraordinarily atmospheric World War I spy story made on the eve of World War II
CinePassion - 7/10 by Fernando F. CrocePowell fuses Pressburger's amusing detail work into a dapper study
Monthly Film Bulletin - 6/10 by MFB CriticsThe acting is outstandingly good. Conrad Veidt is brilliant in the lead.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UConrad plays a wonderful role in this movie. One of my favourite talkies.

User Review - 10/10 by Fred DSurprisingly good naval espionage movie set during WWI but made on the verge of WWII. Germans, particularly Veidt's character, come off as very human. Hobson's character is intriguing, particularly her obvious attraction toward's Veidt while married to another man.
User Review - 8/10 by Andrew GA solid and fun early British film from Michael Powell, "The Spy in Black" shows his early prowess with the camera. Even though It's considered a B film, the interior and exterior shots are captured surprisingly well and the use of angles adds to the intrigue and secrecy in the film. The movie is about a German submarine captain named Conrad Veidt who receives orders to infiltrate and gather intelligence to destroy a British Fleet. The other spies and people involved in the mission may not be who they seem. The only drawbacks, from an otherwise enjoyable film, was the held back movements and actions of both the Germans and English during crucial scenes. For examples of this look at the woman spy who is alone with the German officer, he literally sits his pistol down to change and she does nothing even though only a few feet away. Aside from the scenes not flowing too realistically, I enjoyed the movie as a whole. If you are into B films or just older British films of the action/suspense genre, this is a solid and entertaining one.
User Review - 8/10 by Mike GVeidt has a strong role for which he's admirably suited. Sebastian Shaw is excellent as the English naval officer. Valerie Hobson, as the other spy, is creditable.
User Review - 8/10 by Sean WConrad Veidt and Valerie Hobson make the unlikeliest of screen couples in gripping wartime espionage thriller. Available on DVD in Australia, but not UK or US!
