"For Powell & Pressburger, [WWII] was the important event of their professional lives, giving a striking new depth and a sense of purpose to their work. So here is Emeric, [a Hungarian Jew], making propaganda for the British. But instead of simplying everything like propaganda usually does, he's always seeking to complicate our sympathies." - Martin Scorsese

A World War II U-boat crew are stranded in northern Canada. To avoid internment, they must make their way to the border and get into the still-neutral U.S.
