    Where to Watch

The lady (Paulette Goddard) doesn't really have military plans inked on her back---but Nazi and British agents in Lisbon think she does. Ray Milland, Roland Young, Albert Dekker, Margaret Hayes, Cecil Kellaway. Fast, amusing. Directed by Sidney Lanfield.

Milland is a radio broadcaster in Lisbon during WW II. Goddard, his assistant, is mistaken for a Nazi spy with a secret message tattooed on her back in invisible ink. The far-fetched but enjoyable plot is filled to the brim with spies and counterspies. This picture was one of four which Milland and Goddard appeared in together within a one year stretch, the others being STAR-SPANGLED RHYTHM; REAP THE WILD WIND; and THE CRYSTAL BALL.
