The Secret Agent misfires in Gaumont British film
A critic blasts Gaumont British for adapting W Maugham Ashenden into The Secret Agent. He faults liberty with characters and tone, praises some stories as strong, and notes the film’s failure to capture Maugham’s sharp dialogue and ironic humor. He mocks Peter Lorre as a comic figure and wishes a faithful adaptation of The Hairless Mexican.
