In order to help bring Nazis to justice, U.S. government agent T.R. Devlin recruits Alicia Huberman, the American daughter of a convicted German war criminal, as a spy. As they begin to fall for one another, Alicia is instructed to win the affections of Alexander Sebastian, a Nazi hiding out in Brazil. When Sebastian becomes serious about his relationship with Alicia, the stakes get higher, and Devlin must watch her slip further undercover.

Another great Hitchcock film -- in typical Hitchcockian fashion, the mystery keeps being pealed back even into the final scenes · We see Hollywood's censorship board's heavy hand when they specifically prohibited any hint of a lesbian infatuation or relationship between the houswekeeper Mrs· Danvers and the unseen Rebecca, even though, Danvers' obsessive memories of her former mistress provides the sinister undercurrent for the plot.
