Product Description
Humphrey Bogart reunites with director Michael Curtiz and other key Casablanca personnel (including co-stars Claude Rains, Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet) for a tension-swept Passage to Marseille.
Bogart plays Jean Matrac, a World War II French patriot who escapes Devil’s Island, survives a dangerous freighter voyage and becomes a gunner in the Free French Air Corps.
Passage sailed into theaters on stormy seas.
Controversy surrounded the scene in which Matrac machine-guns the helpless survivors of a downed plane that attacked the freighter.
That a soldier of freedom would act ignobly brought protests from religious and censorship groups.
But, like Matrac facing a strafing dive-bomber, the studio held its ground.
War could even dehumanize a hero.
Domestic prints remained uncut.
