Inhalt: |
Humphrey Bogart reunites with director MichaeI Curtiz and other key Casablanca personnel (incIuding co-stars Claude Rains, Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet) for a tension-swept Passage to MarseiIle. Bogart plays Jean Matrac, a WorId War ll French patriot who escapes Devil’s lsland, survives a dangerous freighter voyage and becomes a gunner in the Free French Air Corps.
Passage saiIed into theaters on stormy seas. Controversy surrounded the scene in which Matrac machine-guns the heIpIess survivors of a downed plane that attacked the freighter. That a soldier of freedom would act ignobIy brought protests from religious and censorship groups. But, like Matrac facing a strafing dive-bomber, the studio held its ground. War couId even dehumanize a hero. Domestic prints remained uncut.
