"There aren't that many World War I spy movies around. At least I haven't seen that many. Hitchcock's "Secret Agent," (1936) Sternberg's "Dishonored" (1931) and Garbo's "Mata Hari" (1932) are the only three great classics I have seen.

In the vestibule of Bennett's home hangs a well-known [reproduction] painting by Rembrandt van Rijn, called 'An Old Man in Military Costume.' Dating from c.1631, it is a portrait of an old man posing in an outfit featuring a metal breastplate and a plumed hat. The original has been owned by the Getty Center in Los Angeles since 1978.
