Since Flynn's character is the son of German parents, he works undercover with his sympathies being questioned by both sides. The set up scenes for Flynn's undercover work are weakly written and directed, but once he goes on his mission the story begins to pick up, with some good action scenes and moments of conflict.

Julie Bishop as his fiancee is hardly one of his best leading ladies, while Helmut Dantine as the Nazi leader is good in a role the actor had to play in many films throughout WWII. I'm not sure where the movie was actually filmed, but a lot of it appears to have been on soundstages, which is unfortunate, since the tough, bitterly cold northern Canadian landscape would have added a dimension of reality...

It is a tightly constructed movie, with a great performance by Errol Flynn. Great action, as Flynn single-handedly outwits the Nazis. The special effects are very dated, and humorous, but, overall the film is a fine evening of fun.Watch for Errol Flynn's last line in the movie - it is Flynn at his best! |
