“Allied” (***1/2 out of four) was a mesmerizing WWII melodrama about a U.S. intelligence officer (Brad Pitt) who becomes married to a French Resistance fighter (Marion Cotillard) who he meets behind enemy lines; however upon returning home and having a child, he soon comes to suspect she may be a German spy and if so he will have to kill her or be killed himself by his country for treason! Old-fashioned story is high-powered by two terrific performances from Pitt and Cotillard who have electric chemistry together. Leisurely paced but crackles with suspense, wit, and romance in a way that harks back to Hollywood’s Golden Age. First-rate filmmaking from director Robert Zemeckis.
