Rendezvous 24 (1946)
3/10
William Gargan Saves the World From Neo-Nazis
26 March 2024
Amusingly wrong-headed film in which Nazi die-hards developing an atomic bomb are seen as a threat to the world. By the time this film was released in May of 1946, the world already knew that a Communist spy ring was operating in Canada and that Winston Churchill had warned of an "Iron Curtain" descending upon Europe. So, the real threat to the world was Russian Communism, not German Naziism. But nobody wanted to hear that in 1946. A miscast William Gargan plays his usual wise cracking American who can outsmart any Nazi with one eye closed and ordinary Germans are portrayed as clowns. Shockingly inept considering it was a product of 20th Centry Fox.
