This is a spy
thriller showing the inner workings of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)
during World War II. An OSS
training officer learns there is a German mole within the class. He needs to discover who this is and
what can be done about it. Highly
dangerous assignments still need to be completed despite this additional
situation. When one of the men is
killed in a parachute jump, they learn the line to his chute had been
deliberately cut. The German is
suspected of course.
This is good and the
period cars are spectacular. James
Cagney is very good as the lead training officer. The 66 years between the release of this film and the present doesn’t
hinder this film and I would like to see more of Cagney’s movies. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
95
min, Action directed by Henry Hathaway with James Cagney, Annabella, Roland
Belanger, Richard Conte, Frank Latimore, Walter Abel, Melville Cooper, Sam Jaffe.
Note: Imdb 6.9 out of 10,
83% critic 49% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Turner Classic Movies 2.5 out of 4 stars.
