Propaganda & Diversity
2 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This is a quality propaganda film about the World War 2 effort. It is designed purely to prop up the home front. It is quite effective in this effort.

The cast- Humphrey Bogart, Raymond Massey, Alan Hale & Dane Clark is very strong. Granted the cast doesn't get a lot of quality dialog but it does pretty well with what they do have. The sailors wife is really well illustrated.

A whole section of the film is kind of a World War 2 headline for diversity (which was invented way before the 1990's). It shows our hero's ship steaming into Nova Scotia & how diverse a fleet is there from many Allied Countries to ship war materials to fight the Nazi's.

The action sequences in this war time film are well done, & the lack of mechanical detail had much to do with the war effort. While a type of sonar is mentioned, no mention is made of radar & everything appears to be quite crude. This doesn't make the action suffer.
