Synopsis:
This is the story of a secret agent, Richard Ashenden, who is sent to
Switzerland to find and murder a spy. However, he has no idea what the spy looks
like, and mistakenly kills an innocent tourist… This is not an excessively valued film by Hitchcock, but it is still
impressive because of the unique directing style and excellent actors.
