Uriah43 Upon learning that Prime Minister Chamberlain has made peace with Nazi Germany, a British officer by the name of "Wing Commander Keith Wilson" (George Sanders) becomes quite angry and voices his concern that Hitler will not keep his word. Unfortunately, he then proceeds to get exceedingly drunk and commits some indiscretions while in uniform for which he is subsequently court-martialed for behavior unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman. Ironically, his predicament draws the attention of the British Secret Service who not only believe like he does but also realize that he may be quite useful to them as a spy against the Germans in the near future. But first they have to make him appear to be valuable to the Germans and to do that they will have to destroy his reputation in the process. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this movie was made during World War 2 and includes the usual nationalistic sentiment one would expect from a film produced during this particular time. It goes with the territory. Even so, it was still entertaining in its own right and because of that I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

mark.waltz That mastermind of sophisticated deviousness, George Sanders, turns heroic as a British correspondent who turns traitor to turn on the Nazi's and destroy them right in front of their schwatickered backs. He does it very cleverly too, in a somewhat convoluted plot line which reveals that other major characters may not be whom they claim to be as well. He's joined by two darkly beautiful women, Marguerite Chapman and Gale Sondergaard, characters with German sounding names who may or may not be on the side of the Nazi's. Typical war propaganda is no better, but certainly not worse, than other films of its kind of the war years, of which there were dozens. It flows by quickly, but is often perplexing as it moves from one segment of deception and danger to another. Sanders, an excellent actor in villain roles, easily convinces his British pals that he's betrayed them, and that makes the betrayal all the more believable. You can understand why even the Nazi's are fooled. It served a purpose during war, and now serves as a reminder of what the future needs to avoid if continuing freedom will prevail.

blanche-2 George Sanders stars with Marguerite Chapman in "Appointment in Berlin," a 1943 film directed by Alfred E. Green.Sanders plays Keith Wilson, who is disgusted by his fellow Brits believing that Hitler will abide by any non-aggression treaty and speaks out against their passivity. Because he is an RAF officer, he is dismissed from the service. A friend (Alan Napier) in the secret service recruits him to pose as a traitor/Nazi sympathizer and spy for England.Wilson is given the job of doing radio broadcasts, and by embedding a code in his speeches, he is able to give valuable information to Britain. Meanwhile, he falls for his Nazi boss' sister Ilse (Chapman), who seems unsupportive of her brother's actions.Though this is kind of a downer - it's about war, after all - it's a good movie. Sanders gives his usual smooth, charming performance, though I think he was capable of much more. He had a wonderful voice and screen presence and livened up many a film.I also liked Gail Sondergaard as a member of the underground. I actually didn't find Marguerite Chapman was all that good, though very pretty. Many years ago, before the Internet, I used to get a magazine for memorabilia collectors, and she had an ad in the classifieds to sell her personal memorabilia. I actually wasn't familiar with her at that time.Worth seeing.

Angela SUN Seen this movie recently, strongly feel that Ilse's death is just not worth it, I think that's some kind of stupid. But I don't know why she became an assistant to her evil brother, because it's just him who killed her at last.Over all, I think George Sanders is quite charming and his levelheaded behavior in the movie made me admire him even more.And this movie made me think about Bogart's Sahara because they all filmed during the war.
