Keywords: Thriller, WWII, Espionage

An naive Irish woman with a hatred of Britain is manipulated into participation in an intelligence operation, and soon discovers herself in over her head. Good espionage thriller with comedic characterizations; Kerr gives a good performance. WWII Ireland was officially neutral but anti-Nazi in sympathy.

Alternative title The Adventuress.
