Another interesting role for Cary Grant playing well a cold-hearted gambler out to rip off a war charity, Laraine Day and Gladys Cooper - well how could you, especially after they teach you to knit (amusing scenes with Alan Carney ensue).
George Barnes shoots docksides evocatively.
Story by Milton Holmes 'Bundles for Freedom' as adapted by himself and Adrian Scott, with another hundred writers uncredited - wonder which one wrote the (powerful) letter home from Greek mother? Exciting and satisfying ending.
Good cast also includes Charles Bickford as the boat's rugged skipper, Henry Stephenson (Oliver Twist), Paul Stewart (the weasel), Florence Bates.
Music by Roy Webb, wonderful set designs from William Cameron Menzies. RKO.
