Newspaper man Stewart is recruited by the US government to sneak into Malaya and smuggle out rubber to help the American war effort. Stewart takes along buddy Spencer Tracy. Tracy is a tough as nails cookie who goes around non-stop talking shit and never worries about anything (example: he sneaks into a Japanese base at nighttime wearing a solid white suit and white hat). Boring and predictable stuff happens and all the while I kept wondering to myself how this film even got made with such a high-caliber cast?!
Zero tension, discombobulated story, unneeded love aspect, stiff dialogue, quicksand pacing, unsatisfying beginning, middle and ending. Outside of a feeling of boredom there is nothing notable about this film. Skip it with a vengeance.
