Trivia
Errol Flynn was criticized for playing heroes in World War II movies. Tony Thomas in his book "Errol Flynn: The Spy Who Never Was" states that Flynn had tried to enlist in every branch of the armed services but was rejected as unfit for service on the grounds of his health--he had a heart condition, tuberculosis, malaria and a back problem. He felt he could contribute to America's war effort by appearing in such films as Edge of Darkness (1943), Northern Pursuit (1943), Dive Bomber (1941), Objective, Burma! (1945) and Uncertain Glory (1944). Reportedly, he was at his most professional and cooperative while working on these movies. Warner Bros. apparently did not discuss the state of his health, as it wished to keep it quiet for fear that it would damage his box-office draw.

Goofs
Near the end the Nazis' plane is shown spiraling over and over in exterior shots, but in shots in the plane's interior it's going straight down, not spinning out of control.

Quotes
Angus McBain: I have a very derogatory opinion of policeman, in general, and Steve, in particular.
Laura McBain: You're not going to marry him, I am.
Angus McBain: McBain's daughter the wife of a policeman! McBain's daughter stuck in a tradin' post!
Laura McBain: What makes McBain's daughter so wonderful?
Angus McBain: McBain!

Intriguing at the start.. standard action flick after that

Attractive Canadian setting and interesting plot start-up degenerates into standard action flick with shootouts between bad guys and good guys. Well done and acted, but little plot interest the second half.
