Vivien Leigh fans won't want to miss "Dark Journey," a 1937 film starring the up and coming Leigh and Conrad Veidt. The film takes place during World War I in neutral Sweden, where a Swiss woman, Madeleine Goddard (Leigh) has a dress shop, a front for her spy activities on behalf of - the Germans? Or the French? She becomes involved with a German spy (Conrad Veidt) and is put in danger.
This film is a little confusing - it was hard to tell who was on what side and when. Both Leigh and Veidt are very good, but they deserved a better script.
Not a huge film, nothing like what would await Leigh in the U.S. a short time later. Worth seeing for her.
