"It reminds me," she says, "of so many incidents in my childhood because I remember many of the people so well in the movies which I used to see in Oslo." The one person she seems most interested in is August Tollaire, a 78 year old sprightly eccentric who always wears a gray plug hat, long double pointed beard and a frock coat with velvet lapels drama of the battle between U-boats and America's "Suicide Mary Boland overacts the role (dls) graced the screen than Clare of the countess.

Hailed as the greatest of all war films, the picture is even more timely today than when it was first filmed. At that time it was severely edited to avoid offending certain foreign governments.
