		Conrad Veidt, the severe hawk-faced German actor best known for playing villains (including the evil vizier in the Powell-directed portions of The Thief of Bagdad), enjoys a rare heroic turn as the no-nonsense captain of a neutral Danish freighter pulled into a British port.
		Conrad Veidt has those Caligari eyes that have always made him seem so sinister, and together with his thickly accented, nasal voice, they hurt an otherwise fine attempt at being a likeable hero.
		Veidt makes a good staunch captain, but his foray into romance with Valerie Hobson and the general equanimity of his written character don't jibe with his pinched appearance.

	Conrad Veidt on Screen by John T. Soister \| PopMatters Book Review
		Veidt, having vexed Hitler's regime, might have been subject to an attempt to eliminate his contribution to the German film industry -- his "foreign" films were ultimately banned from exhibition and reviews which appeared in German publications after he fled are extraordinarily vicious -- and some of Veidt's films may have survived only by luck.
		The greater pity is that Veidt is not well known today though in the 1920s and 1930s he was considered in the same breath as Lon Chaney and John Barrymore.
		Though based in Germany until he managed to expatriate himself through a clever bit of one-upmanship on the part of British producer Michael Balcon, he was involved in films made throughout Europe, in Britain and in the United States, so widespread was the regard for his talent.

		Featuring Conrad Veidt as its main hero (Captain Andersen, a ship's captain and Danish neutral), the film questions neutrality as a position taken by nations and individuals in the war.
		Veidt and Hobson have a peculiar on-screen chemistry, akin to that of the warring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in His Girl Friday (Howard Hawks, 1940).
		By the movie's end, with Veidt declaring “I've had enough trouble because of you and I fancy I shall have more”, we seem to have been provided with an apt prediction of the horrors and heroics Britain was about to face.
