Familiar Cast, Director, & Gimmicks Highlight This B-Movie
27 February 2015
A Cast of Familiars and Director Fred Zinnemann's Second Movie Makes this More Interesting than the Average Wartime B-Movie. There are Gimmicks Galore to Entertain. Edward Arnold as a Blind Detective Overacts and Gets On the Nerves Occasionally but is Helped Greatly by Some Gadgets and His Seeing Eye Dog Friday who Steals the Show.

Donna Reed is a Bitchy Stepdaughter, and Katherine Emery as a Cold Blooded Nazi Spy Also Add Some Spice to the Proceedings. There are Stylistic Flourishes and Quite a Bit of Action and Intrigue.

Just About Everybody Connected to This Movie did Better Things but as an Ensemble All Jammed Into this Entertaining Little Movie, Add Some Weight to This WWII, Audience Friendly, Piece of Fluff.
