...contest was little more than a filler for the highly esteemed Lovell squad, which had 19 wins and four losses this year. Lefty Davis, former Eastern League hurler, went the distance for the losers, scattering eight hits except for the second inning when he gave a trio of safeties. Red Sox farmhand Walsh, who was slated to pitch, was saved for an Army league game yesterday and only appeared as a successful pinch hitter in the ninth...

Of course, the hero and heroine are fairly one-dimensional; Robert Cummings is allowed to swagger a bit as Barry Keane, but Priscilla Lane, although skillfully directed to cover up her deficiencies, is bad. The emphasis of the picture rests on the fifth columnists; a trio of them, Otto Kruger, Alan Baxter, and especially Norman Lloyd in the title role, contribute splendid portrayals. There is an effective and quite symbolic scene among circus freaks and a kindly portrayal of a blind man by Vaughan Glazer. But it is Mr. Hitchcock's picture: he dominates every foot...
