Trivia
This film has many tangential connections to Casablanca (1942) besides its plot line of anti-Nazi intrigue. It features Paul Henreid, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre, who all appeared in "Casablanca." Behind the scenes, the film features music by Max Steiner and cinematography by Arthur Edeson, who both worked on "Casablanca." Like "Casablanca," it was produced by Warner Bros. It also features Hedy Lamarr, who was originally considered for the role of "Ilsa," which was eventually played by Ingrid Bergman. Lamar had also previously appeared in Casbah (1938), which had a plot line similar to "Casablanca." In "Casablanca" and this film, the city of Lisbon is referenced as the port of departure for the United States and other points in the non-Axis world. Moreover, Lisbon is the main setting for this film.

Goofs
When an aerial map of Lisbon is shown, it does not look at all like it, and resembles an aerial view of the China territory of Macau and Taipa Island, then under Portuguese administration.

******* Not Bogey

Paul Henreid was stalwart and in earnest, but, let's face it. He's not Humphrey Bogart, despite his efforts to be a tough leading man and willingness to face danger unafraid. The rest of the cast is excellent, with several familiar faces in Sidney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre, and Hedy Lamarr is gorgeous. In fact, the story is a good one, as has been reiterated by other contributors. There is some tension and suspense at the end of the film, as they try to uncover the traitor in their midst. But Bogey's not there, with his signature snarling inflections and scowling face. Still, it's entertaining on it's own terms and holds the interest throughout.
