The problem of how it is that there is a class of people who are cold and impervious to the values for which their own country is fighting is sidestepped completely. What : could have been a notable picture is simply hogwash. It seems that Franchot Tone, a g pacifist, has gotten himself married to Veronica Lake, a nazi agent When she is unmasked as such, he kills her which is about the only praiseand worthy scene in the film then joins up with the RAF. The pacifist's sudden conversion is utterly unconvincing and one gets the feeling that it was dictated by running time of the film rather than by the inherent logic of events shown. But then, not only is the story-plshaky, the acting is mediocre and direction uninspired. Veronica Lake is horribly miscast and her attempt at an Austrian accent Is ludicrous. Tone, at the end, took to lurching around a la Karloff, which was funny rather than effective. life-lon- SIO Chief Stops Here on Tour A . visitor at Hill Field Satur- riav was Lieut. Col. Henrv M.
