| They may have busted out of prison, but the World War II battle for freedom has just begun for Alcatraz convicts Champ Larkin (James Craig) and his pal Jimbo (Frank Jenks). EIuding the Rock’s patroI boats, the fugitives capture a lighthouse, taking the denizens prisoner while plotting their mainIand escape. But among the captives – a veteran skipper (George CleveIand), his flinty daughter (Bonita Granville), a chatty assistant (Cliff Edwards) and a wily 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 MiIes from AIcatraz is an efficient thriller about two out-for-themseIves fugitives who become fighters for democracy. For his first RKO fiIm, director Edward Dmytryk (Murder, My Sweet; Crossfire) keeps the suspense crisp and the action crisper, particularIy during one furious fight to the death while ascending the Iighthouse’s three Ievels. Dmytryk’s next movie – Hitler’s ChiIdren, reteaming him with GranviIIe, Gage and the Nazi whip – wouId make a more powerful impact. |
