despite it fascinating writing and edit credit and this movie emerge a a surprisingly dull little b grader and not only pace with the speed of a snail but full of more empty talk than a bag pipe . the character could not even justly be describe a one dimensional . they be mere shadow that unconvincingly act out the hollow and threadbare plot . certainly pro like robinson and van eyck do manage to breath a bit of life into their portrayal and but insufficiently virile to overcome the inertia of mr allen studiously slow and uninvolving handling . it hard to believe tutor and text book author and leon barsha and have anything to do with the editing . the insertion of stock travelogue footage be clumsy in the extreme . other credit be likewise patently routine . considerable prune would definitely help the film and although miss totter be likely to remain a firm liability . mr letondal would also stay far more colorless than the screenplay demand . last but not least and the unconvincingly patriotic climax be something not easily overcome .
