THE DOUBLE TRAITOR (1915)
Berlin is on the up; at a fine restaurant there the Baroness says: "We both know our Paris, yet do we lack anything here which you find at the Ritz or Giro's?" Norgate, British diplomat, is forced to agree although he is in general shocked by the awful manners of the nouveaux riches Germans who have spoilt Monte Carlo and the Riviera. And it is not just the middle classes who lack finesse. The Baroness and diplomat have their tete-a-tete interrupted by an imperious and oafish prince.
Norgate and Baroness foil dastardly German schemes as WW1 breaks out.
Run of the mill nonsense 2/10.
This was such a disappointment.
