...size of a cake of soap, weighs less than half a pound, will treat enough salt water to make two quarts of drinkable water - enough to last a careful man a week. The chemicals (secret) are simply mixed with sea water in any available container - a bucket, a boot or a helmet.

Conrad Veidt plays a Gestapo chief who, unlike the usual blustering buffon that Hollywood Nazis usually are, is more sinister than laughable. Peter Lorre, an unseen corpse after the first few scenes, and Dooley Wilson, playing "As Time Goes By" to repair broken hearts, complete the list of ingredients in this...
