Whatever you do, don’t put out The Madonna’s Holy light.

Loosely based on the real Mata Hari (WW I, spy), this is a tale of a spy who may have gotten caught up in something greater than God and Country.
Mata (Greta Garbo), a German spy, has been pumping Russian General (a not very convincing Lionel Barrymore) for some time for Russian intel. When by chance she comes across a young, enthusiastic Russian flight lieutenant (Ramon Navarro) with much more interesting secrets. Hot on her tail is French Secret Service chief Dubois (C. Henry Gordon). At the beginning of the movie, Dubois predicts that Mata will wind up in front of a firing squad.
Will Mata deliver the goods, or will Dubois’ prediction come true?
Other than Barrymore’s acting and the hokey Hari dance, this was a well-paced and emotional film.
