It is quite amazing how the talent and presence of Barbara Stanwyck can shine through even the most mundane of B pictures as she does in this Mayo film, one of her early movies.
The story regarding the German experience in America during WWI is a good premise but the follow-through is not executed well.
The story drifts and breaks apart after the first 30 minutes. There are some confusing scenes with events alluded to though not clearly expressed and explained, almost as if the producers were too shy to plainly illustrate the story on screen.
Also, the pairing between Stanwyck and the much older Kruger (20 years difference) appears to be a major mismatch.
All in all, this would be about a 3 or 4 without the marvelous acting of Stanwyck
