Storyline
| Plot Summary |
At the start of World War II, Katie O'Hara, an American burlesque girl intent on social climbing, marries Austrian Baron Von Luber. Pat O'Toole, an American radio reporter, sees this as a chance to investigate Von Luber, who is suspected of having Nazi ties. As country after country falls to the Germans, O'Toole follows O'Hara across Europe. At first he is after a story, but he gradually falls in love with her. When she learns that her husband is indeed a Nazi, O'Hara fakes her death and runs off with O'Toole. In Paris, she is recruited to spy for the Allies; he uses a radio broadcast to make Von Luber and the Germans look like fools.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | (at around 22 mins) Cary Grant tells Ginger Rogers that he will always remember her character "just the way you look tonight", evoking a smirk from Rogers. The line alludes to the song of the same title that Fred Astaire sang to Rogers in Swing Time (1936). See more » |
| Goofs | Famous footage of Adolf Hitler visiting Paris is shown. Following this, many scenes (and many days) occur before the Baron is called in to see Hitler, yet it is well-recorded that Hitler's visit to the city lasted only 3 hours. See more » |

Patrick O'Toole:
[ending his coerced radio speech]
You can tell it to the Army. And you can tell it to the Navy. And most of all, you can tell it to the Marines! See more » |
