USA-born Director Alfred E. Green is perhaps best known for the LONE WOLF TV series, but he does a good job of advancing British nationalism in APPOINTMENT IN BERLIN, which sees RAF wing commander Keith Wilson (superbly played by George Sanders) convey his unhappiness about then Prime Minister Chamberlain's meeting with Chancellor Adolf Hitler in Munich in 1938, and promising peace.
To cut a long story short, Sanders goes down in life with accusations of treason, but he is cleverly used by the British Secret Service to act as a double agent. Inevitably, some suspension of disbelief is needed, but I did not find it hard - Sanders and the beautiful and dignified Marguerite Chapman, plus all the Gestapo villains, make it riveting stuff.
It is more of a B than an A production, with an at times contrived plot, especially the convenient aircraft at the end finding the Dutch resistance pocket in the darkest of night, and providing Sanders with means of escape and communication... but all in a good cause! 7/10.
