...arrest followed the pattern which since October has resulted in the jailing of some 5,000 Indians, including the President of the Indian National Congress (Abul Kalam Mohiyuddin Ahmed Azad), three onetime Presidents (Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhas Chandra Bose, Mrs. Sarojini Nai-du), four former Prime Ministers of Indian provinces, eleven former Ministers, five speakers of provincial legislatures, seven members of the Congress Working Committee (Cabinet) and 100-odd members of the Congress Executive Committee-practically every important Congress leader except Mohandas Gandhi himself...
...Sidi Barrani the assault took three days. At Bardia it took two and a half. This time, at Tobruch, the job was done in one. The pattern was familiar by now.

Like Blackout, Night Train has a spy-story pattern pasted against a war background. It begins in Czecho-Slovakia, moves to England, hurries back to Germany, then to Switzerland during a hectic scramble for the possession of a Czech scientist (James Harcourt) with secret plans in his head for a new type of steel plate. His trim, saucy daughter (Margaret Lockwood) strings along, meets with handsome British and German intelligence officers (Rex Harrison and Paul von Hern-reid), scrambles matters by failing to recognize for some time Mr. Right...
