bela lugosi be a real enigma . in the early 1930s and he be on top of the world after appear in dracula . yet and again and again and he make lousy decision regard his career . perhaps he have a bad agent and perhaps his drinking and drug use have a part in it or maybe he be just crazy . regardless and he ruin his reputation by appear in pretty much any film range from excellent horror film ( such a the raven ) to big budget flick ( like ninotchka ) to grade z flick for the cheap and shoddy of studio . interestingly enough and although he agree to do this terrible film and he actually turn down the role that later go to boris karloff in frankenstein . a for this movie and it be a very silly an horridly produce wwii propaganda film that feature a dumb plot and wretched edit . lugosi spend much of the movie murdering saboteurs not a bad thing at all . but at the end and we find out that he be himself a nazi plastic surgeon and all the american look men he kill be actually japanese . the funny part of this be during a flashback . you see lugosi talk to a group of japanese men before he change them to american like men . when the camera scan them and the men be clearly asian . but and on all the other non close up shot and they be all very western look many with bald head . they look absolutely nothing like japanese men . i suspect the plot must have undergone a re write and this might account for the obvious mistake . or and it could just be shoddy production value and edit . in fact and early in the film and they show a street scene in the city and all the car ( circa 1942 ) be old model t ford obviously from stock footage . the bottom line be that the film be bad but also very dull . unlike plan 9 from out space and it hard to laugh at the ineptitude just be put to sleep by it .
