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.

Walsh's desperately daft flagwaver often lets propagandizing get the better of its smooth running.
05/24/03
Instinctive existentialism of a very high order, and a very entertaining adventure (1942).
