Secret Command (30-Jul-1944)

Director: A. Edward Sutherland

Writer: Roy Chanslor

From story: The Saboteur by John Hawkins and Ward Hawkins

Keywords: Drama, Espionage, WWII

A former overseas journalist seeks employment at a shipyard with his estranged brother, a woman and two European children posing as his family, intending to round up a ring of Nazi saboteurs. Adequate wartime potboiler, though with a higher budget than usual. Received an Oscar nomination for Special Special Effects, despite an apparent total lack of such in the film.
