...commander, is separated from the rest of the army in good lost-patrol tradition. In trying to catch up with the retreating British forces, he picks up a motley assortment of stragglers: a few Englishmen, a Free Frenchman, a Sudanese rifleman (Rex Ingram) and his Italian prisoner (J. Carrol Naish), and a German pilot shot down by the tank's accurate fire...
...during Rommel's African heyday. Under Humphrey Bogart's command, it staggers southward through sand and heat. Fuel and water run short. The crew picks up first a mixed batch of English and Empire men, later a Sudanese soldier (Rex Ingram) and his Italian prisoner (J. Carrol Naish), finally an arrogant young Nazi ace (Kurt Krueger).

But Taro wants to join his U.S. friend, Engineer Clancy O'Hara (Don Douglas), marry his secretary, Tama...
...modernistic interior of the Rio Stock Exchange. In these settings, Brazilian life seems polite and well-dressed, constantly accompanied by an ordinary assortment of Mack Gordon-Harry Warren tunes sung against a background of beautiful girls. Of the Brazilian characters, only the Baron's rival broker (J. Carrol Naish) has a trace of perfidy and that is gently masked. Since Miss Faye as the Baroness with a brush of Brooklyn in her accent prefers the Latin Don Ameche to the U. S. duplicate, and since the U S Ameche prefers Carmen Miranda, Pan-American attraction is adequately proved. That...
