Eduard Benes had a tedious journey. Weather held up his plane at Bagdad and again farther along the line. Finally, at Moscow, he found a station festooned with flags and spread with red carpet, a welcoming delegation headed by Foreign Commissar Viacheslav Molotov, Marshal Klimenti Voroshilov, a guard of honor...
Sophisticated Producer Walter Wanger has used Technicolor to create a fabulous spectacle, but he does not take his work too seriously. The tale pokes fun at itself and slyly cuckolds the Hays office.

At such a juncture, the loss of Basra and the Gulf would be even worse than the loss of Suez...
...Bagdad to Teheran. Back again in "the office" as the bomber flew northeast over the Persian mountains from Bagdad to Teheran, Churchill saw jagged peaks reaching up hungrily in the clear air. "Say, aren't we flying rather close?" he asked. Vanderkloot answered: "About a thousand feet." "Those peaks," said Churchill, "would look better from higher up." The bomber picked up another thousand feet...
