    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Troubled actress Frances Farmer was cast in this film in the role of "Helen", and showed up for the first day of filming, but was later fired by Monogram for allegedly slapping a studio hairdresser. She was replaced by Mary Brian. She was subsequently arrested for violating her parole from a previous drunk-driving charge. She reputedly appears in at least one montage sequence, but was essentially cut out of the finished film. This would be her penultimate picture. Her last would come 15 years later in The Party Crashers (1958).

    4/10
    bland propaganda
    The Nazi menace has spread into America. Torgut Lane (Dean Jagger) is a forger prisoner. He escapes with help from a group of Nazi spies. He is forced to help them print counterfeit bills.

    This film is also called No Escape. It's wartime propaganda. The premise is far from realistic. The story is messy. Torgut is way too blasé and that saps away any tension for the first half. The audience doesn't care about this guy and there is no rooting interest. The story is too bland for too long. There is a bit of noir style. It's a B-movie but it still needs to be thrilling. Even propaganda films need to be good.
