Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

mamalv What a wonderful movie. It captures the blooming relationship between a stuffy military man on the run and a free spirited gypsy totally. Milland is on a mission with a young man to get a formula for a deadly gas from a man in Germany. Along the way they split up, and plan to meet again at a road crossing. In the mean time Milland is running and hiding from the Nazi's when he comes across Dietrich. She makes him up as a gypsy to hide his identity, and they go on their way to his destination. Even though Dietrich is dirty and messy, he becomes closer to her as he sees that she is a unique and wonderful woman. There are many lighthearted moments where Milland tells her to sit on her hands as she is constantly trying to seduce him. The pairing of these two stars is nothing short of magnificent. Milland is absolutely gorgeous and it is not a wonder that Dietrich is having a hard time keeping her hands off him. The war ends and he returns to her to be with her forever.

mark.waltz This flashback told tale is set up when British officer receives the titled earrings in the mail and lets loose with his story. It was World War II when Milland, on a secret mission in Germany, escaped from a prisoner of war camp and hooked up with lone gypsy Marlene Dietrich who helps him hide so he can complete a secret mission. Horny Dietrich latches on to him like tomato sauce onto spaghetti, pierces his ears and plants dark make-up upon him. Before you know it, Milland is telling Nazi soldiers their fortunes while realizing that finding Dietrich was the best thing that has yet happened to him."His blood will turn to milk and his bones will crumble!" Dietrich tells Milland of a former lover who ran off on her. Yet, he sticks around, determined to complete his mission and helping the Allies beat the Nazis. "Today in Germany, everybody is watched. Even the watchers", the inventor of a gas that the Germans want for destructive purposes and the British want to (allegedly) only keep out of the German's hands.The aging Dietrich, overloaded in dark make-up, overly long eye lashes and an excess of veils, is pure camp as the extremely over affectionate gypsy, with Murvyn Vye as one of her gypsy beaus who initially resents Milland. As silly as he looks in the dark make-up and earrings (like Othello on acid), Milland gives a subtle performance.In spite of being so silly, this is one of those truly enjoyable war films that may not represent any type of reality but is never dull. The title song is one of those odd musical moments in films that just come out of nowhere and makes you wonder if Gene Wilder was off in some distant castle bring a monster back to life.

srooks1 It is hard to picture a movie about a love story between a British spy and a gypsy. The plot is predictable. The characters are predictable; even my favorite Zoltan who seems to be playing in a different movie. Marlene Dietrich again is stuck in a formulaic romance where she plays the exotic female who drives men crazy.This is not Ray Miland's best role either. His British accent is at best inconsistent. He plays the heroic agent fighting the evil Nazis.Overall, this movie is really nothing but a WW II retread with a romance thrown into the mix for good(?) measure.This movie is mindless entertainment that will be quickly forgotten.

moonspinner55 Silly comedy casts an embarrassed-seeming Ray Milland as a British officer in World War II Europe escaping German confines and taking up with a man-hungry gypsy woman, played by Marlene Dietrich. Slowly-paced, overlong, and miscast: the leads are far too old for this type of juvenile fodder, although Marlene shines in her solo moments. It took three scriptwriters to adapt Yolanda Foldes' book for the screen, but this material must have already seemed dated by 1947--it smacks of something Ernst Lubitsch might have turned out in 1939. The scenario is musty, and the stars have absolutely no chemistry together. ** from ****
