IMDB

A woman’s ex-boyfriend has her running delivery on secret microfilm.  While on the subway, a pickpocket lifts the microfilm from him.  The police are on the trail because the film contains secrets and is being delivered to the dastardly communists.
I got to admit, I did not enjoy this movie as much as I expected.  Some of it was pretty corny, especially the ending, which was similar to the ending of an episode of the “Superman” TV show from the 1950s--like a wink at the camera.  The climatic fight was good, though.


6/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
