That's one reason (among many!) why I enjoy your blog -- your highlighting lesser-known films that should be noticed. This one sounds interesting, especially for Ella Raines, of whom I'm a big fan; as you note, she had an interesting career. She was herself an interesting actress, who didn't hew to the expected choices in her performances. So she's another reason to watch the film - thanks!grandoldmovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773085288675763855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-15491977679369292302019-09-02T18:05:56.866-07:002019-09-02T18:05:56.866-07:00Well, I feel like an unpatriotic Canadian for not ...Well, I feel like an unpatriotic Canadian for not having seen – or even heard of – this film.

I chuckled to myself for days when I came up with the tagline. <br /><br />Randy looks good in uniform and handles the role quite well. The Southern Gent accent may not completely go with a British Columbia sailor, but ... Hollywood. And they treated Canada with respect.

She took over the role that KAREN GRASSLE had played in the ep THE WIVING.

Canada is very under-represented in WWII films generally, so it's nice to know that Hollywood remembered the Canadians at least once. And I wasn't familiar with The Maple Leaf Forever, but film scores of this time were always using bits of musical shorthand like that. It's one I'll have to listen out for. <br /><br />Thanks so much for bringing this to the blogathon.<br />Cinema Essentialshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12167367509339965033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-52102153355088449822019-09-02T07:14:11.496-07:002019-09-02T07:14:11.496-07:00I feel that with his obvious talent, David Bruce d...I feel that with his obvious talent, David Bruce deserved a different career but would hate to be deprived of my October viewings of The Mad Ghoul. A rare and fine lead is in Lady on a Train, and I look forward to his roles in The Sea Hawk, Adventures of Don Juan, and The Smiling Ghost. I believe he will impress you in this Hawks' picture.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-60536344870596147092019-09-02T07:04:26.906-07:002019-09-02T07:04:26.906-07:00I have not seen CORVETTE K-225, but it sounds like...I have not seen CORVETTE K-225, but it sounds like a worthy addition to the list of quality patriotic films made during the war. The name in the cast that jumped out at me was David Bruce. I remember him best from THE MAD GHOUL, an above-average "B" horror movie he made the same year. He played the unfortunate title character.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.com
