A WWII rouser designed to bolster the spirits of wartime audiences - and I'll bet it succeeded. It also does wonders for modern audiences weary of waiting for a good movie to come along. It plays like a movie serial which were popular in the 30's and 40's and with the same flaws in design and lack of attention to detail How long can guys who are knocked out stay unconscious? and how do uniforms stay crisp after a week or so's wear? And it's always fun to find out how amazingly stupid Nazis were.
But this is a flag waver, and the good guys do what good guys do. Don't ask questions or wonder about plot contrivances, just go with it. It's a hoot and not to be taken too seriously. After all, the principals (Reagan, Flynn, Kennedy and Hale) don't.
