In spite of the wonderful music which didn't fit the movie and I loved it anyway, I really enjoyed this movie. Thank you for sharing it.
Great quality and a great film, worth losing our eyesight for. Oh, I forgot, it's free so we cannot complain about the crappy picture.
Leon Ames is one of my favorites. He could be a villain, do comedy, be the perfect dad, and did them all equally well.

Thanks for uploading this wee movie, I thought it was a great film, very enjoyable.
Actually pretty good. Thank you for up load. My grandpa was a cop on Capital Hill back at this time. Early days of federal policing. The themes of crypto and spying were at their height. Really enjoyed the flick.

Great old yarn, had me hooked all the way through!!!
Cute movie, but I thought by the title that there would be filming in Panama. Since I've been living here I've been on the Canal many times, once for a whole day on a working tugboat. I think that was the best experience I've had so far living in Central America.

Wow! Life, and the movies, in America were certainly different 80 years ago! I watched it to view the world of my parents' childhood. It was an odd place, according to this flick. Can't decide if I like the movie or not. For posting it, Ty.

I think the music is a holdover from radio plays that were still popular at the time to keep you engaged in the program - just the opposite to viewing same today.
Apart from the poor quality, especially the dark scenes, this is a surprisingly good little "B" movie. Definitely worth 66 minutes of your time. Give it a whirl and enjoy. Regards from "locked-down" England, February, 2021

Love B movies. They are short & to the point with solid actors. A particular favorite of mine is Abner Biberman, one of the few white men believable as an oriental.

I also love Abner Biberman. He played the chief Thugee in Gunga Din, he was the Falcon or the Saint's or one of those guys' right hand man, he was in a Thin Man movie, he had the most astonishing and varied career! And he could do scary and comedy equally well.
Definitely a simpler place and time😍

How can a non-native speaker possibly break a Chinese or Japanese code? These are non-phonetic languages. It's unlike English, where you only have 26 letters. Chinese and japanese have thousands of pictographs, each with its own meaning.
The music was NOT dubbed in, it was part of the film, so watch the movie :)

Stephanie Hand writes: "Leon Ames finally played a "good guy."" Ames often played a "good guy". In a long career, he frequently played the heroine's father, the mayor, the commissioner of police, the district attourney, the magistrate, a chairman or CEO and mostly in supporting roles. It's more appropriate to observe, Leon Ames finally played a "leading man"

The music got to be just a bit too much, and I signed off at the 3:08 mark. Phooey.
Intresting that the plane(special flight) is off course, and when the major radios in he just give in a direction and altitude. So all is all right. Now this is at the beginning of radar. Radar was scetchy dueing Dec 7 pearl harbor.
I wonder what blackmail the music director had something on the producer to force him to use irritating music all of the way through the film?

Pre pearl harbor, the Gov may have suspected the Japanise. But not the general pop.
The older movies, especially those made on tight budgets, have unduly prominent, sometimes noisy, and often misaligned music. In many cases it’s a well known classical compositions, which if you’re familiar with it is additionally distracting.

Doesn't bother me at all, but then again, I'm in the film music business! LOL! But with David Chudnow in charge of the music, that most likely meant music written for other things was used in the movie.
would have been better without the odd orchestration. music didn't match the vibe of movie
it's as much as expensive for to add the legend ???
Needs CC
Major could get mr Ed to figure code ...lol
Oh no! Not an "oriental!"
In 1939, movie makers couldn't actually state that the "Oriental" was Japanese - Pearl Harbour happened on 7 December, 1941.
Nice to watch a gov. spy movie/thriller where the good guy wins most of the time. The other cop/spy movies always show the good guy walking into a trap, or not paying attention to his back side, and getting his ass whipped.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The music itself is good. The use of the music is bad. Doesn't fit the mood of specific scenes, etc. I'm not big on a lot of music in movies. It ruins dramatic moments that stand on their own without music telling you how to feel. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie, though.

A B movie apparently inspired by the code-breaking exploits of Col. William and Elisebeth Friedman and their staff (They broke the Japanese Purple Code.) Another movie, The Cipher Bureau, may have been a continuation of this one, if not the same movie with a different name. Look for the great radio actor J. Scott Smart ("The Fat Man") as the arch-villain here....his substantial acting talents misused. For its cryptographic elements. It should have a place in the NSA's National Cryptologic Museum in Ft Meade. The rest of the movie is Grade C+. It's racist, poorly written, produced on the cheap and, for the most part, wildly overdramatic (although the always trustworthy Leon Ames turns in his usual good performance).
