Morocco Bound

To adapt the venerable football cliche, this might be described as a film of two halves. It starts as a sober anti-fascist story of a group of defeated International Brigade troops fleeing Spain only to end up in an internment camp in Vichy France, leavened with comic relief from jovial professional Scotsman, Peter Sinclair (billed on the Variety circuit as The Cock O' The North). In the latter stages it turns into a more familiar melodramatic thriller, losing in credibility while gaining in pace. Stars Anton Walbrook and Margaretta Scott are sympathetic and convincing, while veteran Reginald Tate is inclined to chew the scenery as a villain tending to pop up in the unlikeliest of places. A relatively high rating for period interest and entertainment value.
