"The Spy in Black" is a World War I espionage thriller set in 1917, directed by Michael Powell and starring Conrad Veidt and Valerie Hobson. The film follows a German submarine captain, Captain Hardt (Conrad Veidt), who is assigned a secret mission to infiltrate the Orkney Isles, located off the northeast coast of Scotland, in order to sink the British fleet harbored there.
Captain Hardt's mission begins when he is transferred to a disguised German merchant vessel that acts as a cover for the German submarine U-117. Along with his crew, they disguise themselves as British sailors and navigate through treacherous waters to reach the Orkney Isles undetected.
Once they arrive on the shores of the Orkneys, Captain Hardt disguises himself as a schoolteacher named Charles Dimble, while his crew members blend in as fishermen. The crew strategically places mines in the waters surrounding the British fleet's harbor, planning to detonate them upon their return to the submarine.
While infiltrating the local community and gathering valuable intelligence, Captain Hardt encounters a young Englishwoman named Anne Burnett (Valerie Hobson). Unbeknownst to him, she is actually a spy for the British Admiralty, working undercover.
As Captain Hardt and Anne spend more time together, a romance blossoms between them. However, their loyalty to their respective countries constantly poses a threat to their relationship. While the German captain is determined to complete his mission, Anne is torn between her feelings for Hardt and her duty to protect her country.
As the tension rises, Captain Hardt becomes suspicious of Anne's true identity, suspecting her of having ulterior motives. Anne, on the other hand, constantly faces the dilemma of whether to betray her country, as her feelings for Hardt grow stronger.
Ultimately, the film builds up to a suspenseful climax as the time to detonate the mines approaches. The question remains whether Captain Hardt will succeed in sinking the British fleet, or if Anne will thwart his plans in order to protect her homeland.
"The Spy in Black" offers a thrilling blend of espionage, romance, and intense psychological warfare as its central characters navigate the complexities of their loyalties amidst the backdrop of the Orkney Isles in World War I.
