John Dunning Quote

The plots on Counterspy were exactly what the title implies. In the beginning, this meant counterespionage against Germany’s Gestapo and Japan’s Black Dragon. The approach was slightly above the juvenile. Perhaps one reason for its durability was its reputation for upstaging the news. The Case of the Missing Soldier (Oct. 24, 1945) related the cruel rackets feeding on the families of dead war heroes just two days before a sensational arrest in a real such case. The series also beat by two days the arrest of the unchallenged Mata Hari of World War II, a woman whose photographic memory was used for espionage.
