Review of Hold Back the Dawn (1941) by Laird J — 26 Sep 2008
Darkly comic, with great performances by Boyer and Goddard as sleazy grifters. The US-Mexican border issues are shockingly relevant. The whole thing is framed by a ludicrous and gimmicky set-up, and the rushed ending is pretty predictable and silly in light of the rest of the film, but it's totally worth a viewing if you can find it.
