In 1942, an intelligence officer in North Africa encounters a female French Resistance fighter on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. When they reunite in London, their relationship is tested by the pressures of war.
This was a good movie but it was a bit predictable. I thought Max and Marianne mad a really cute couple. They were perfect for each other but as soon as they told him she was a German spy it was obvious that it was going to be true. There were some twists though. I was actually pretty surprised at some of the things. The way he asked her to marry him was pretty strange though. It was more like he was telling her to marry him. Kind of weird. I'm surprised she said yes to that. Though if he didn't want it to be true why didn't he just burn any evidence on her or leave before they finished the investigation? I'm actually confused on why he stayed and looked into it rather than leave. I thought their baby was adorable but they most showed he baby asleep. I like that he tried everything to help his wife but how was he so calm that she lied to him. She wasn't who he thought she was which also makes me want to know her real name is. Was she even really French? How can he be so fine with her lying to him when he has no idea who she really is? What if everything she said was scripted or something? What if she read a file on the real Marianne and was saying all the things about her rather than stuff that is true? Trust no one. Isn't that what all spies say? What if she sold more secrets in the future? It just doesn't add up. She betrayed them and he's cool with it just because he loves her. I think I would have liked it better if they had answered some of those questions.
