3 out of 5
An impressively grim Warner Bros war movie about the Norwegian Resistance, with a stellar cast headed up by unlikely Scandinavians Errol Flynn, Ann Sheridan and Walter Huston. Flynn acquits himself well, and the film is expertly directed by veteran Lewis Milestone - All Quiet on the Western Front - and superbly photographed by Sid Hickox. There's also fine support work, most notably from Morris Carnovsky as an old schoolmaster pitting his wits against Helmut Dantine's Nazi commandant and from Charles Dingle as a Nazi sympathiser. Stirring stuff, it was overtly propagandist when it was made and is still pretty potent today.
Plot Summary
Second World War drama starring Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan. A Norwegian fisherman rallies the local resistance movement against the invading Nazis. But there are traitors in their midst.
