...pattern of thought of which the U.S. was going to hear more. Essentially, in the world's great crisis, the U.S. was faced with two alternatives: 1) keeping and cherishing the allies with whom it had stood before, or 2) going into the type of hemisphere isolation advocated by Joe Kennedy and many others still to be heard from.

The heroine (Sheila Manahan) is unglamorously plump and dowdy; the young hero (Hugh Cross) wears a rumpled, ill-fitting suit; the Scotland Yard superintendent (Andre Morell) is a sternly workmanlike type with no quaint traits. The most likable character is a bighearted, middle-aged floozy (Olive Sloane) who shelters the professor. But the real heroine of Seven Days is London, with its streets, landmarks and citizens. The city gives a terrifyingly good performance...
