Movie Info
Soon after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, cynical former newspaper correspondent John Royer (James Stewart) devises a scheme with his old editor and government agents to return to the Far East and smuggle out a vast amount of rubber for the war effort. Demanding the freedom and company of his ex-friend, Carnahan (Spencer Tracy), whom he betrayed in an exposé years earlier, Royer sails off into the hands of the Japanese with a motley crew, gold and the promise of covert government aid.

Frank Fenton makes interesting script structure choices. The story's based on real accounts to steal rubber to assist the war effort. Excellent cast keeps the excessive talky parts interesting, George Folsey's cinematography is crisp and director Richard Thorpe does nice work on the action scenes.

A minor film in all the actors filmography but still an enjoyable adventure that is made better by their involvement. This was Sydney Greenstreet's last film and his role is a fitting one, neither hero nor villain but filled with chances for him to imbibe it with his customary humor and sly wit, he even gets the final shot in the film which adds a nice touch as a capper to his career.
