Review – Seven Miles to Alcatraz

Does this movie have enough junk in it? Two convicts convinced that the Japanese are going to bomb Alcatraz stage a desperate escape. The crate they float away on carries them out to a lighthouse, where they stumble upon and ultimately foil a plot by Nazi spies to slip secret information to a U-boat lurking offshore. Pointless bickering ensues. The bad script, bad acting and bewildering story stamp this as a classic B-movie effort from the early 1940s. Mildly amusing
