This Second World War flag-waver began as one of many Warner Bros short films designed to salute various aspects of the war effort - this time the merchant marine - but ended up a full-length feature. Humphrey Bogart (immediately after Casablanca) and Raymond Massey play the courageous seamen who sail from the USA to Murmansk in the Soviet Union, dodging German U-boats and bombers all the way. Ruth Gordon, meanwhile, keeps the home fires burning. Bogart and Massey make a convincing pair of heroes and the action sequences are just as impressive as those in Noël Coward and David Lean's earlier In Which We Serve.
Plot Summary
