1t is probable that the movie
makers read the newspapers. too. so
it is only natural that they dis
cover some of their film material in
the drama of the front pages. There
is, for instance, Escape to Glory"
the new picture at the Metropol-
itan, which looks in on a rather
bizarre group of homeWard-bound
Americans fleeing England on a
freighter and caught in mid-ocean
when war Is declared. Since this
particular assortment includes sew
eral persons who would cause each
other trouble even in Utopia, you
can see that the presence in the
ofhng of a Nazi submarine Is some
thing certain to compound and con-
found the drama.
With its overtones of war and its
undertones of the Alfred Hitchcock
technique, Escape to Glory" does
manage to be solidly exciting much
of the time, enough so that you are
likely to lose sight Of the fact that
it Is pretty much routine melodrama
stuff after all. Director John Brahm
has managed rather handily for
the most part in his attempt to fol-
low the trail blazed by Mr.. Hitch
cock. He has injected a deal of
breathless suspense into a sequence
in which the crippled freighter hides
in fog while the crew repairs the
engines for a getaway while a Ger
man doctor aboard attempts to sig
nal the lurking sub.
Mr.. Brahm has managed well,
too, in planting his varied charac-
ters aboard the freighter and setting
up the scene for his suspense. There
are young gangster bent upon
murder, his intended victim travel
ing with beautiful secretary; an
amiable old couple who might, you
suspect, be what they seem or a pair
of the blacklist villains; a stock
"Babbitt" from the Midwest, the
German doctor, and finally sodden
soldier of fortune being deported
as an undesirable alien. It's a nice

time the Hitchcock manner has led
Mr.. Brahm astray is in the case of
the Midwestern businessman, a glar-
ingly obvious and completely un-
funny copy of those two Britishers
of "The Lady Vanishes."
The major fault, and the only no.
ticeable fault, of Escape to Glory
can be attributed to one of three
reasons, which of the three not be-
