this wedding of the two themes has
been accomplished by an amazingly
lavish use of the tattered cliches IA
miliar to each.
Placing an old, old story in a new
setting may, on occasion, create the
impression that something is being
said in fresh, new way, but this is
not one of the occasions. Confirm
or Deny" still is the one about the
reporter whose soul is torn with the
conflict between duty and love, the
poor fellow face to face with both
a story he must tell and a lovely lass
who says he must not tell it. In this
case the accountrements of the tale
are the battle of London, rumors Of
invasion and the predicament of be-
ing trapped in cellar with an un-
exploded bomb which sizzles merrily
away in its race with rescue.
The hero, you see. is an American
newspaperman don Ameche), de-
termined to scoop the world for Con-
solidated Press by 40 minutes on the
story of the invasion Of England,
which he has obtained by pigeon
post direct from Berlin. He's cute
one, all right, the ink -smeared proto-
type of that brash young movie
American who is always insulting
the r. A. F. by joining it. He calls
all girls Red" for instance, be-
cause he once had a beloved setter
named Red"
One of the girls he fondly ad-
dresses in this manner is the heroine
Joan Bennett, lass he has
bumped into and Immediately fallen
In love with In a blackout, proving
himself quite different from all nor
NAL neWspapermen, who like to get
a gander at gal in at least a dim
light before entering into idle BAN
ter. Anyhow this girl is the one
who does not want him to sneak the
invasion story past the censor, be-
cause he will be giving information
to the enemy. The enemy probably
knows it is attempting invasion, of
course, but British military intelli-
gence might not want German mill
tary intelligence to know that Brit
ish military intelligence knows Great
Britain is being invaded.
That. so help us. is what every one
keeps telling this fellow all through
the picture. 1t probably just proves
that some movie script writer's should
not be frightened by such rumors as
that one about Hitler rehearsing or
attempting invasion a year ago,
when the London blitz was at its
peak.
