The combat movie, a genre that had not been a
Hollywood staple for many years, was rejuvenated after the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor. Some of the initial
World War II combat movies featuring Americans in uniform were just as absurd
as the films that showcased Tarzan, the Invisible Man, Lassie and Sherlock
Holmes triumphing over the enemy.
In this film, for example, a bomber crew shot down over Germany has no
difficulty outsmarting and evading its Nazi captors.
