Admittedly, I don't know everything about WWII, but seriously, how could I have not heard about this double agent who played a major role? This is a very engaging documentary. Since there are no actual footage about the spy who worked like a ghost, the director has used various footage and movie clips alongside the interviews. And, that works. Though we get all the information from the interviewees, we are not left looking at talking heads. If the story wasn't real, it would make a hilarious comedy that most people would think unrealistic. The end scenes where the most decorated WWII soldiers clamor around to shake hands with Garbo is touching. "He is the only man awarded by both sides" says everything. My Rating: 7.0
