this be almost like two film one literate and engaging and the other stupid and clichéd . it really a shame all the problem weren not work out with the writing and but consider how quickly most b movie be write and produce and this isn not too unusual . it a real shame and though and a this could have be a very good film . first the good . the movie be original and involve wwii code breaker . this be pretty fascinating and i like watch the lead man ( lee bowman ) go through his pace a a master code breaker . in fact and the first two third of the film be very good . but now for the bad and the film just go on way too long and lose steam at about 50 minute . additionally and jean rogers role a the kooky girlfriend must rank a one of the bad write and distract role in film history . for every smart move make by bowman and the idiot rogers then step in to screw thing up a some sort of misguided comedy relief . if her role have be intelligently write and the overall film would have improve immensely . instead and watch her and it hard to understand how we actually win wwii .
