| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumFine Cagney vehicle directed by Henry Hathaway. |
| User ReviewClelie RIn one word: Excellent. James Cagney strikes all the right notes - at times playfull, at times the tough guy, at times echoing George M Cohan....And the final scene, for my money, is one of the best you can find in films of the era. |
| User ReviewRobert PThis is one of James Cagney's overlooked films, one that most seem to have forgotten about, but his performance is very good, and his career was beginning to peak at this stage. In this Second World War drama, directed by Henry Hathaway, Cagney plays a tough OSS agent, who oversees a special mission to determine the location of the factory where the Nazis are manufacturing their flying bombs. Cagney is solidly supported by Annabella and Richard Conte, and the movie is also good by the fact that it is told in a documentary style, meaning something is bound to be learnt when the credits have finished. Overall, this is one of the forgotten gems by Cagney and director Hathaway, and is a good war movie to view. |
| User ReviewTed WI've never seen Cagney this violent, even in White Heat. This was a very suspenseful movie with a lot of soon to be famous people in small roles. |
| User ReviewGreg Wwell made spy thriller Fine Cagney vehicle directed by Henry Hathaway. |
| User ReviewPrivate UIt's a pretty straight-forward (almost rather stripped down) spy flick. Cagney gives a good performance as usual, and certain scenes and plot developmentss are pretty surprising and impressive. |
| User ReviewAvantika SThis World War II thriller is One of the many greats classic from Hollywood's golden age this remains one of the best. film with performances by James Cagney |

| User ReviewDoug NOne day I'll write a blurb. Few will notice. I'll be satisfied. Life will continue. |
| User ReviewGary CThe first half of this post war-time drama is a straight propaganda piece, filmed in newsreel style, showing how the plucky ladies and chaps of the OSS were trained to sock it to the dreaded hun. This has some value as a historical curio, but it hardly makes for gripping drama. Fortunately, half way through one of the operatives turns out to be a double agent, and Cagney himself parachutes into enemy territory to fulfil the mission. From here on in it becomes far more satisfying as Cagney comes into his own as his trademark no-nonsense tough guy and some atmospheric location based camera work nicely combines wartime bravado with some visuals and themes that would not look out of place in a film noir. Rather dated, but a solid thriller that's pretty much carried entirely by Cagney's charisma. |
