Query: Pathetic attempts at humor, overall bad writing.

I generally enjoy watching old movies, but this is not one of the good ones. While Hitchcock managed a few decent movies, I think he was LARGELY overrated.The story is thin, attempted humor is more annoying than funny (as is Peter Lorre), in general the writing is bad and the acting not so great. Our war spies end up getting credit for a job they couldn't/didn't even do - they were pathetic and so was the whole setup which makes the USA look foolish and incompetent. In fact, the more I think about this movie after watching it, the more I dislike it.I cannot recommend this movie to anyone. Sorry.
