During WWII, a war correspondent (Don Porter) gets married, but his wife Joan (Constance Bennett) is up to something. She pretends not to already know his friend, slips out on mysterious errands and hangs around with a group he doesn't approve of. She also seems to have a large supply of ex-boyfriends. This breezy spy film is entertaining enough, and features some unexpected comedy at the end supplied by Jimmy Conlin and a saxophone. It blows my mind that someone would marry another person without really knowing them, but I guess that happened a lot during the war.
