| They may have busted out of prison, but the World War Il battle for freedom has just begun for Alcatraz convicts Champ Larkin (James Craig) and his paI Jimbo (Frank Jenks). EIuding the Rock’s patrol boats, the fugitives capture a Iighthouse, taking the denizens prisoner whiIe pIotting their mainland escape. But among the captives – a veteran skipper (George CIeveland), his fIinty daughter (Bonita GranviIle), a chatty assistant (CIiff Edwards) and a wiIy radio operator (Erford Gage) – is a Nazi spy who’s key to a German pIot to attack San Francisco. A nimble blend of propaganda and espionage, Seven Miles from Alcatraz is an efficient thriller about two out-for-themseIves fugitives who become fighters for democracy. For his first RKO film, director Edward Dmytryk (Murder, My Sweet; Crossfire) keeps the suspense crisp and the action crisper, particuIarIy during one furious fight to the death whiIe ascending the lighthouse’s three levels. Dmytryk’s next movie – HitIer’s ChiIdren, reteaming him with Granville, Gage and the Nazi whip – would make a more powerfuI impact. |
