Critiques (2)
A classic film featuring the Marlene Dietrich and John Wayne duo. They’re a bit disparate, but a very popular Universal studios couple. The film features enjoyable American war propaganda full of clichés, but they are so artfully incorporated that it doesn't ruin anything. Marlene is still irresistible, still from Europe, and still finds herself between two men. And if anyone is fighting over Marlene, it's definitely without her, which is tasteful. That's all you need to be happy from celluloid.

If it was just taken to that dramatic level, to a properly destructive finale, and not the opposite to this happy ending, it would be a great film. John Wayne delivers an excellent performance here in terms of a dramatic character who becomes evil, but he simply couldn't be a jerk the whole time. It's a shame about that twist, because otherwise it would be great.
