Gable is Dutch intelligence working under the Brits, training Lana Turner to work in Holland with the underground. She has a questionable background, but he trusts her. When people begin to die, and operations go awry, he begins to doubt her.
Victor Mature is also a member of the underground, called "the scarf," because he wears one, flamboyantly.
It becomes a question of which one is the traitor.
Not a bad film in the genre. Nothing special about it, except the cast. They all do their jobs well.

Summary: a nifty spy yarn
Comment: A great cast and snappy dialogue make this WWII spy thriller very entertaining. Set in Holland and England during 1943, there is intrigue, agents with dubious pasts, and a bombshell babe. Lana Turner is stunning with dark hair, as "Carla" a.k.a. "Fran". She is sensational as she sings a sultry song, and gets to prove that she was a highly underrated actress. I love the way she utters "Oh please !" when Gable tells her to get married and have children.
Clark Gable is strong, tough and manly as a Colonel in Dutch Intelligence; Gable was in his early fifties when this was filmed, and he looks very weathered but still handsome.Other marvelous performances come from Victor Mature as "The Scarf", an underground leader, Wilfrid Hyde-White as a General of the British Intelligence, and Louis Calhern as both Dutch General Ten Eyck, and the narrator of the film.
O.E. Hasse is the intriguing Colonel Dietrich of the German Intelligence, who says "A spy has no character, he only assumes one"
Marvelous cinematography by Freddie Young and score by Walter Goehr, and fast-paced direction by Gottfried Reinhardt also contribute to make this a jolly good show.
Total running time is 107 minutes
