Joel McCrae is Barry Corvall, consulate man who gets married right as the german forces were gathering and getting ready to move on all of europe. Brenda Marshall (in her first credited role!) is "Brenda", another american needing assistance in getting back to america, but of course, she doesn't have a passport. or family. or friends. and acts a bit suspiciously (at least to everyone except Barry...) it all blows up later,and now barry must prove that his new bride hasn't committed any crime. George Reeves (Superman! ) is in here as a bit part of a secretary in the office. sadly, Reeves died young at 45, from a gunshot, under suspicious circumstances. This came out in 1939, the same year that germany rolled into poland. the U.S. would be dragged into it in Pearl Harbor, 1941. directed by Lloyd Bacon, who worked with big stars in films 42nd Street, Marked Woman, WonderBar. and even directed Lucy in two comedies. it's okay, as long as you buy into the storyline. some of it is pretty hard to buy into...but it has the gung-ho patriotic message that we will see in so many WW II films.
