Film Comment lovingly reviewed this forgotten treasure this month, so I had extraordinarily high expectations. For a studio-system war melodrama, this does have many high points: gorgeous play with shadow and light, emotionally resonant gestures of romance and humanity, brilliantly choreographed ‘chase scenes’ in several varieties. But in exact proportion to all this, there is cheesy dialogue, poor plot development and absurd cultural stereotypes galore, all excessive even by 1941 Hollywood standards. I’m sad to report I found it so maddeningly uneven when so much of it is very special.
