Dangerously They Live (1941)

Warner Bros.-First National
Directed by Robert Florey
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

John Garfield is miscast as a doctor whose amnesia patient draws him into a Nazi spy ring. Garfield looks completely lost puffing a pipe in a suit and tie while discussing the latest advances in psychiatry. The story moves briskly enough, from the hospital to a country estate where he is held prisoner. The Nazis, living as respectable Americans, are after information on the location of an American fleet. The final scenes feature model submarines being bombed by stock footage.
