Here is a spy story that could only happen in a pulp magazine or Hollywood, but somehow it turns out to be good entertainment, so everybody's happy except Rommel. The picture is distinguished by two things--the dialogue, which is superb, and the acting of all concerned, with top honors going to Akim Tamiroff and Erich von Stroheim.

Action in the North Atlantic (Warner Bros.) is a celluloid glorification of the U.S. merchant marine. To accomplish its business, it signs on First Mate Humphrey Bogart under Skipper Raymond Massey and puts these tough, tenderhearted salts safely through a disaster-laden, pulp-fictional log of two wartime Atlantic crossings. In an interval ashore, Bogart punctuates the voyages with one of his own patented semicolons by finding just enough time to saunter into a waterfront dive, sock a loose-talking barfly and marry the blonde, black-gowned entertainer of the place almost before she can finish throating Night...

Governor Schricker then urged that the Commission exclude all sectional politics, thus echoing many a previous Midwest Governor...
...Troops. Later he helped found the fanatically brutal, black-shirted SS. In 1932, when he was caught trying to assassinate a democratic politician, he fled to Italy. When Hitler came into power, Eicke came home to head the SS Death's Head Brigade-the guards who tortured into pulp the minds and bodies of anti-Nazi Germans in the new concentration camps. Eicke was warden of Dachau, and there he was in his element: he meted out the most indecent punishments himself...
