Desperate Journey was viewed at the time of its release as a ludicrous, comic-strip war adventure. That view has only been strengthened over the years.

Instinctive existentialism of a very high order, and a very entertaining adventure (1942).

Aside from some expendable propaganda heroics, rousingly handled by Walsh.
