Navy Secrets (1939)

Fay Wray and Grant Withers are working separately on uncovering the theft of top-secret defense plans. Neither is aware that the other is working on the case and they both get suspicious of the other, even as they become romantically involved.

Wray's boyfriend is a stamp collector, but he gets picked up under suspicion of selling government secrets. Withers "fills in" for his friend and takes Wray out to dinner. The restaurant, owned by Nick (Dewey Robinson) is a headquarters for spy activity.

The plot drags a little on this one, but the finish is satisfying. I have always enjoyed Withers' acting, and Wray's slightly-askew eyes are fascinating.
