Plot.
Tom Tyler leaves London bound for a spying mission for Prague, and warns his wife Hilda that their apartment may be bugged. A man arrives at the apartment and helps Hilda search for bugs. Elsewhere, Tom is in bed with his contact Grace. As she turns the photograph of her husband – the man in Tom and Hilda's apartment – to the wall, a hidden microphone is revealed.
Reception.
"The Monthly Film Bulletin" wrote: "A formal and rather disappointing exercise from Gerry O'Hara, "The Spy's Wife" gives the impression of a three-minute revue sketch, padding out a conventional charade of musical beds with some subdued gimmickry along James Bond lines. The enigma of whether the husband is or is not a spy quickly loses its appeal; and though the principle roles are expertly played, the only chilling moment of mystery occurs when Hilda's sinister-looking mother pulls some glasses which she claims to have bought at Casa Pupo out of a Habitat bag."
