Trivia:
Warner Bros. built a full-scale Merchant Marine ship in three months, modeled after the French ship Ville de Nancy. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: We see the plane during bombing runs being attacked by anti-aircraft artillery and fighters at the same time. This would not happen as the fighters would stay outside the area when AAA is firing on the planes; as they would be shot down by their own guns. moreQuotes:
Jean Matrac: Funny how much more you can say with a few bars of music then a basket full of words. moreSoundtrack:

It must be a problem for first-time viewers to watch this flashback within a flashback within a flashback film. There is also the urge to compare this with "Casablanca". It cannot hold a candle to that masterpiece. On its own, it has some good qualities. The production is first-rate. The cast do excellent work considering the limits of the cliche-ridden script. The Devil's Island sequence is particularly well executed. So we have a film that may disappoint considering the talent but is hard to dismiss.
