How to Operate Behind Enemy Lines (1943), also known as Undercover, is exactly what it sounds like. The hour-long production, a how-to film woven into a dramatic narrative, was the first film to teach practical spycraft to wartime intelligence agents and was made for military use only, unseen by civilians until it was eventually declassified.

John Ford directed this (now declassified) hour-long industrial film for the OSS (precursor to the CIA), basically teaching soldiers how to be a spy in a foreign country. It’s simultaneously dark and incredibly playful as goes through the “do’s and don’ts” of international espionage. RIP Charlie, the world’s worst spy.
