Garbo, in her first spy role, uses her looks to daze the enemy just long enough to relieve him of important documents; in the course of one such maneuver she lets down her guard, and the rest of the tale is a case of reverse espionage. Conrad Nagel is the irresistible Austrian captain who turns her head from east to west. Another splendid Garbo silent, both exotic and erotic thanks to the efforts of MGM's design department and William Daniels' extraordinary camerawork, with its looming shadows and stunning close-ups.
