THE FOREMAN WENT TO FRANCE
(B-E-F)
(CLIFFORD EVANS, one of the stars of Love on the Dole, is the foreman who went to France at the time when the Nazis were sweep-
ing toward the Channel, in order to retrieve some secret aeroplane machines lent to the French Government. Since his main object was to prevent these machines falling into German hands, and since there would surely have been duplicates in Britain, one wonders why he didn’t destroy the darn things on the spot, instead of lumping them all the way home-except, of course, that then he wouldn’t have had nearly such an exciting journey, with Constance Cummings (for romance), Tommy ‘Trinder (for ‘comedy), and with Nazis and French Fifth Columnists all along the route (for menace). The funny bits rather get in the way of the tragic, and vice versa, but on the whole, it is competent and exciting melodrama.
