Passage to Marseille
de James Wong Howe, Hal B. Wallis, Casey Robinson, John C. Moffitt, Michael Curtiz
The war is just beginning and France has not yet surrendered to the Germans. A French vessel picks up five semi-conscious men in a canoe. All ex-convicts, they have escaped from Devil's Island to do their bit for France. The tensions aboard the Marseille-bound ship slowly build to a shattering clash of wills between the men and the ship's Nazi sympathizer.
