Simple fun

 Assignment in Brittany (1943)


Directed by Jack Conway this film based on the novel of the same name stars Jean-Pierre Aurmont, Susan Peters and Signe Hasso. An office in the Free French army assumes the identity of another man to find a hidden submarine base.


As wartime spy films go this is a pretty decent one even if it is not exactly nuanced. The big action sequence at the end of the film was a nice little surprise that is well done. By modern standards the script is no great shakes but this is still a fun watch.


3/5
