Enigma

This is a classic British spy yarn, equally rife with intrigue and tweed jackets. Dougray Scott stars as a World War II code-breaker whose brief, doomed affair with a sultry blond may have led to a massive security breach. When his former lover goes missing, he teams up with her neighbor (Kate Winslet) to discover if she
was a victim or a traitor. Scott gives a riveting performance, playing a tortured genius whose vast intellect can’t make sense of the war or his own trampled heart.
