The Bell Tolls Again

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The well worn theme of the criminal turned patriotic is always a good sound plot for the theater. It can readily be given new twists as the recent "Passage to Marseille" and the present "Uncertain Glory" show; yet the basic ingredient of heroism remains to please the public. The title of this opus is deceptive, for by the end of the picture the hero's glory is as certain as Hollywood can make it, and they have been in the hero-making business for some years now.

As embroidery on the basic theme, the is laid in Occupied France and the criminal changes his spots by aiding the Underground. Errol Flynn carries of this part well and, with his customary savoir faire in matters feminine provides the romantic interest. For those who like expert acting. Paul Lukas gives his usual superb performance as an inspector for the Surote. Jean Sullivan a particularly pretty and capable actress by the simple country girl who regenerates Flynn and steels him for his sacrifice.

This triumvirate carries the show, for the supporting cast does not always support and in some cases serves as a millstone around the picture's neck. Despite several clever touches, there are non-essential scenes which impede and disjoint the plot.
