On Secret Service stands out for its blend of drama and espionage, infused with a touch of romance. Greta Nissen delivers a compelling performance as the Italian noblewoman navigating her perilous double life in pre-WWI Vienna. The film’s pacing is deliberate, allowing for a rich atmospheric build-up, perfect for that early '30s feel. The tension feels real, especially with Karl Ludwig Diehl playing off Nissen’s character, bringing depth to the narrative. You can sense the influence of its German roots, especially since it's a remake of Spione am Werk. The practical effects, though modest by today’s standards, add an earnest authenticity. It’s a unique glimpse into a world on the brink of war, layered with personal stakes and political intrigue.
