My rating: 2 stars out of 4
Sleep-inducing account of spies during the American Revolution. The main problem is simply no action. Instead, we get endless couriers with endless messages: fake, stolen or otherwise. Then there is Cornel Wilde, who can go between the British and Americans seemingly at will, always with access to the highest ranking officers. I still don't know to which side he was loyal. All of this stealth is supposed to lead to the discovery of Benedict Arnold. However, he is only briefly glimpsed near the beginning and end of the film.
