The Travelling Toe and a Dear Friend went to the local Movie Tavern to see "Allied".  This movie is set during the beginning of WWII with the action taking place in Casablanca then moves to England.

Max Vatan a Canadian RAF agent, parachutes into Morocco making his way into Casablanca.  There he meets up with a French Resistance mole, Marianne Beausejour. She has made friends with many of the the Germans and works for one of the commanding officers. Marianne and Max pose as a married couple and make every appearance of being that. As they work together and live together in a dangerous environment, their relationship becomes more dynamic.  They go out to the dessert to review the attack plans and a sand storm comes up and so does their libdos.  Since this was in the 1940's car seats didn't recline but they still managed to get the job done. (he he he)

That evening at a party, Max and Marianne make their move and kill the German ambassador....along with a bunch of others.  But they make it out alive and we see them next, safe in England.  They decide to get married and settle in Hampstead. Soon they have a baby girl they call Anna. However not all is bliss.  Max is called into headquarters by his commanding officer.  A special operations officer tells Max that Anna is not who she says she is because she is really a spy. The real Marianne Beausejour was killed in France. Max is ordered to find out the truth and if she is a spy, he is ordered to kill her.

Well, Dear Readers, The Travelling Toe will leave the narrative there.  You will have to see the movie yourself in order to learn what the truth really is!
