 Gene Tierney and George Mont gomery, teamed for the first time, are co-starred with Lynn Bari, 1l5 pounds of curves, crookedness and kisses caught in the battle-scarred East. Victor McLaglen, who tops the featured cast, has the rugged type of role that made his name synonymous with hot and heavy action. The burly veteran appears as two-fisted soldier of fortune who peddles his loyalty to the highest bidder.
 Opening with thrilling escape from a Jap prison by Montgomery, an American newsreel cameraman, and McLaglen, the film takes in territory as newsworthy as tomor- rows headlines. Montgomery lams 1t to Burma, with the Japs hot on his trail because he refused to photograph the Burma Road for them. Here George meets Gene Tierney, patriotic Chinese girl, and falls in love.
 The exciting climactic sequences are said to have some of the most realistic bombing scenes ever filmed.
 Also featured in the film are Alan Baxter, Sig Romann, Myron Me- Cormick, and Bobby Blake.
