For movie goers of the 1950s, "Top Secret Affair" was an entertaining film starring Kirk Douglas and Susan Hayward. As a comedy romance, it's about as far-fetched a plot as many such films are. And, that's where some of the enjoyment comes from.

Mar 17, 2020 · Director H C Potter’s merry and diverting 1957 romantic comedy Top Secret Affair stars Susan Hayward as Dottie Peale, a newswoman publisher who tries to bring army war-hero/ politician Major General Melville A Goodwin (Kirk Douglas)’s reputation into disrepute but (unsurprisingly) ends up falling for him instead.
Review by Bryan Colley ★★★★ Susan Hayward's a big magazine publisher out to write a hit piece on flawless army general Kirk Douglas. A surprisingly enjoyable romantic comedy that only slightly digs at the 1950s fetish for all things military, with Douglas doing a great job at being funny without overplaying it.
