directed by Robert Florey
USA 1941
An entertaining propaganda
piece that is fitting for the wartime. This is a minor
film for John Garfield, he is a far more capable actor
than what this programmer allows him to do. [...] The Goodwin estate is isolated in the suburbs, and is guarded like a prison. Or as Jane says, it's like a concentration camp. Jane says they are both prisoners in danger and must find a way to escape. The butler Jarvis and the six gardeners are armed with guns, while the dour housekeeper Dawson never takes her eyes off them. They are not allowed to leave the grounds without an escort and the phones are manned by the Nazi operatives posing as operators. As the Nazi spy ring loses patience with Jane's phony amnesia story they force her to talk by giving her a truth serum injection.

Here is another wartime propaganda film from Warner Bros. with a Nazi spy ring set in New York City. John Garfield would star in a far better picture on the same subject in 1943 for RKO, The Fallen Sparrow. Nancy Coleman would fight racketeers after the war in Monogram's Violence. Abraham Lincoln himself, Raymond Massey (Abe Lincoln in Illinois as the film's charming villain gives the film's most memorable performance. The six
films released by Warner Archive in June 2014 brings
John Garfield's Warner oeuvre nearly completion with
only The Sea Wolf and authorized release of
They Made Me a Criminal missing in region 1 (his
last film,
He Ran All the Way
is owned by MGM, so we hope it gets licensed for HD
release). |
