Fly-By-Night (1942)
4/10
A bit too breezy
18 September 2020
In Fly By Night Richard Carlson has the misfortune of meeting up with Martin Kosleck who gets murdered and the police think Carlson did it. So Carlson flees and in flight picks up Nancy Kelly.

It's all about a diabolical secret weapon that scientist Miles Mander invented which the Nazis who use an insane asylum as a front. Carlson is a fellow scientist and tries to rescue Mander whom he only knows by reputation. Not knowing nearly does Carlson and Kelly in.

Best part of the film is Mander turning the tables on head bad guy Albert Basserman and using his weapon on him. Won't say what it is, but if it was real whatever side had it would have won World War 2 in short order.

The film is breezy and fast and quite unreal. World War 2 propaganda flick that hasn't aged well.
