Escape to Glory (1940)

Forget All The Action Pictures You Ever Saw... And Brace Yourself For A New Kind Of Thrill!

Genre : Drama

Runtime : 1H 4M

Director : John Brahm

Synopsis

The Grand Hotel formula that was so overworked in the 1930s made an encore appearance in 1940's Escape to Glory. The story is given timeliness by placing the characters on a British merchant ship on the very day that World War II is declared. The ship is attacked by a Nazi U-Boat, resulting in a variety of reactions from the diverse passengers--one of whom (Erwin Kalser) is a German doctor. Constance Bennett is glamorous, Pat O'Brien is boozy, John Halliday is pensive, and everybody else (except for the German medico) is plain fearful.
