Once Upon a Honeymoon (1942)

In the tense prelude to the Second World War, 1938 Vienna serves as the backdrop for an unlikely love story steeped in intrigue, mystery, and danger. American burlesque queen turned socialite, Katherine Butt-Smith (known as Katie O'Hara in her previous life and pronounced Bute), enters into a marriage of ambition with Austrian Baron Franz Von Luber. The couple embarks on a continent-spanning honeymoon, a journey carrying a sinister double agenda. Unbeknownst to Katherine, her new husband is a high-ranking Nazi collaborator, using their honeymoon as a cover to pave the way for Hitler's regime to seize control of countries like Czechoslovakia, Poland, Norway, and France. This dark secret catches the attention of American radio broadcaster Patrick O'Toole, stationed in Vienna as a correspondent. Tasked by his boss, Ed Cumberland, to uncover the truth about Von Luber, O'Toole finds himself entangled in a web of espionage, power, and romance. Unable to confront Von Luber directly, O'Toole turns his focus towards the unsuspecting Baroness. Struck by her uncanny resemblance to a burlesque performer he once saw in Brooklyn, he discovers that Katherine, the burlesque queen, and the Baroness are one and the same. Katherine, seeking to erase her past, is unwittingly drawn into a dangerous plot. As O'Toole falls for the American beauty, he strives to rescue her from her marriage to Von Luber. As the shadow of the Nazi regime lengthens across Europe, Katherine begins to see the true nature of her husband. In a daring move, she fakes her death and flees with O'Toole, leaving behind her life of luxury and stepping into a world of subterfuge and resistance. In Paris, she becomes an invaluable ally to the resistance, while O'Toole uses his broadcasts to undermine the Nazis and Von Luber. Once Upon a Honeymoon is an intricate tapestry of love, deception, and courage, woven against the backdrop of a world on the brink of war. As Katherine and O'Toole navigate their way through this dangerous landscape, they must balance their quest for personal happiness with their duty to thwart Von Luber's nefarious plans.
