Espionage was more about two people (Edmund Lowe and Madge Evans) posing as a married couple than it was actual espionage. Evans is a reporter who steals her boss' passport so she can go to Europe and get a big story; Lowe is a writer sent by an editor for the same story.
There wasn't much to this. I wasn't familiar with Madge Evans - she reminded me a little of Irene Dunne, and she played her part well. Ketti Gallian was a stunning French actress who didn't make it in Hollywood.
Paul Lukas is the weapons manufacturer who is the object of the story - everyone winds up on a train, as Lowe and Evans attempt to find out Lukas' next move. But somehow that all gets lost amidst Lowe's violin playing, his disguises, knocks on the head, and Evans throwing him out of her compartment.
It was all okay but when I watch a film called Espionage, I want to see espionage. This was more of a rom-com.
