Review of Passage to Marseille (1944) by Lino C — 29 Jul 2010
An interesting piece of war time propaganda seemingly to soften up the American populace for the invasion on Normandy in June 1944. Quite a remarkable story structure of flashback within flashback within flashback - the strong ensemble chemistry between Bogart, Rains, Lorre & Greenstreet and of course the director developed from Casablanca and other films make this film eminently watchable.
With a lesser array of talent and with a lesser director the story could well have reached the screen as stilted didactic tripe.
