Featured review
from the Forgotten Noir series, except it isn't a noir
This is no noir, and at least on my disc, the sound was not good.
Many actors post-war went to England and did a lot of these B movies, which are done with next to no budget. Among the actors who participated: Dennis O'Keefe, Robert Preston, Dane Clark, and Cesar Romero. I have to say they're fun and sometimes atmospheric.
This one, with George Raft, has some good atmosphere - bombed-out London and some nice interiors.
In the story, nuclear scientists are kidnapped and taken behind the Iron Curtain. An undercover FBI agent (Raft) and a British agent (Frederick Piper) are assigned to capture the kidnappers. Raft sneaks into the country, escaping immigration, in order to draw attention to himself so he would be seen as wanted and nonthreatening.
What winds up happening is that the British agent's assistant, played by Sally Gray, ends up with Raft as they track the kidnappers.
This is pretty ordinary stuff. I like both Gray and Raft. Raft had a real warmth about him when he was at Warners, but I think he's one actor who needed a good director. Here he's elegant but monotoned.
Just okay. Unfortunately, this was Sally Gray's last film. She was invited to go to Hollywood but instead married a Lord who was in the House of Lords, stayed married to him for 52 years, and never worked again. He was 100 when he died; she was 91.
The story goes that her stepson was a friend of John Lennon's and is the subject of "A Day in the Life of a Fool."
