Efficient adventure yarn.

Except a couple of serials which he made with Ray Taylor for Universal Pictures in the forties, I don't remember to have seen any movie from director Lewis D Collins. It was obviously a very obscure director whose movies are maybe not worth digging too deep into the archive vaults. Only a time waster that I found byy chance - or hazard - in my catalogue, my own library. So I said: Why not? And I am not deceived but not excited either. It is not fast paced but not actionless however. With a sleeping pill, you won't make it, for sure. It is an espionage yarn with criminal elements. Jack Holt, I also discovered him several decades ago in an obscure serial, non Republic one, and that's all.

Routine Jack Holt Pre WWII Saboteur B Entry

By 1940 Jack Holt who had been a leading man at Paramount in the 20s and the star of several early talkies directed at Columbia by the up and coming Frank Capra, had slipped to heading B action films. Passport to Alcatraz played on double bills as it was only an hour long and is of interest mainly as one of a number of movie depictions of the edgy mood of America on the verge of entry into World War II .It shows a group of foreign agents headed by a wealthy businessman involved in scamming passports and sabotaging explosives makers.One of the bad guys is played by character actor C Henry Gordon who would die later that year.
