When Flight Lt Forbes and his crew are shot down after bombing their target, they discover valuable information, about a hidden German aircraft factory, that must get back to England. In their way across Germany, they try and cause as much damage as possible. Then with the chasing Germans about to pounce, they come up with an ingenious plan to escape.
When the crew of a downed British bomber escape from their Nazi captors with Top Secret intelligence, they make a desperate journey to get out of Germany alive.
Near the end of the movie, Errol Flynn (Lt. Terrance Forbes) cautions his two fellow crew members that they should wait before they try to recapture the stolen RAF (Royal Air Force) plane. Ronald Reagan (Johnny Hammond) says to his two buddies (who want to wait until the odds are more favorable): "Why wait? There's only twelve of them?" This Reagan comment pretty much captures the ideas of the young men from Australia (Flynn) the US (Reagan) but is somewhat in contrast to the former bookkeeper-accountant from Canada (Kennedy). Yet, mainly these young fighting men see themselves as invincible and uncapturable. This is the attitude that the Armed Services of the England, Canada and the US were each trying to instill in the minds and hearts of their soldiers, as these nations were reeling from defeats at the hands of the axis nations (Germany, Japan and Italy).
The plane, that this crew is a part of, is shot down on its mission to disrupt German production by bombing a certain railroad switching yard, deep in German territory. The crew of the bomber, loses three men in the raid and the crash landing. And just after the captain of the plane dies, the crew is captured and taken to be interrogated by Major Otto Baumeister (Raymong Massey). However, they escape from their captures led by Raymond Massey's character. The major is humiliated. This movie centers on their attempt to escape back to England from deep inside the German held Europe. Raymond Massey is seen pursuing them all the way.
By the time of the movie, France had fallen (as had the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Poland and almost all of Western Europe). The British had been driven into the sea at Dunkirk. With all of Western Europe held by the Germans, the escape across the Western European continent would not be easy. There is loss of life, a sympathetic doctor with a pretty daughter, several escapes from custody or capture, allied sabotage of German installations, a car chase and finally they arrive at the site of the stolen RAF aircraft. The idea that the Germans might bomb the London water supply with this plane and leave millions without water and helpless, prompts the selfless, patriotic fervor that leads young Johnny Hammond (Ronald Reagan's character) to say to his two companions, "Why wait? There's only 12 of them!" Will our heroes escape back to England? Or is this just too much to ask of any men in occupied Western Europe? Do they die a heroes death or live to fight one more day? Watch this patriotic, drama with its lighter moments and you will see. Either way you will be encouraged as were the audiences that viewed this movie in 1942, the armed forces as well as movie audiences in thousands of small towns in Canada, England and the USA.
Of all the actors who made WWII adventure films, Errol Flynn was second only to John Wayne in being accused of 'winning the war single-handed'. His civilian status ridiculed (Flynn HAD attempted to enlist; despite his healthy appearance, it was discovered he had an 'athlete's heart', plus traces of malaria and TB he had contracted in his youth, and was turned down), and his wild lifestyle becoming impossible for WB publicists to cover up any longer (his arrest for trumped-up charges of statutory rape was about to explode into the nation's headlines), Flynn's unique status as an Australian who was also an American movie star would, nonetheless, make him an ideal leading man for war movies that would not only be morale boosters for American audiences, but international audiences, as well.
DESPERATE JOURNEY was the film Flynn's detractors most often ostracized, with it's 'over-the-top' action, and wildly improbable story (downed fliers reap havoc on moronic Nazis, then return to England in a stolen bomber). Certainly, Flynn's ease in both eluding and harassing the Germans, and the infamous tag line he delivers at film's end ("Now to Australia, and a crack at those Japs!") were comic book heroics, at best, and could not be taken seriously. But the same critics that lambasted him ignored the equally far-fetched WWII-themed ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT and ACROSS THE PACIFIC (with Bogart), THEY MET IN BOMBAY (with Gable), and ONCE UPON A HONEYMOON (with Cary Grant). The pity about all this was, when Flynn would appear in superior war pictures (EDGE OF DARKNESS and OBJECTIVE, BURMA!), the films would be 'lumped in' with his more cartoonish epics.
All this being said, as a 'tongue-in-cheek' adventure yarn, DESPERATE JOURNEY is fast-paced and very enjoyable! Directed by action film veteran Raoul Walsh, the story of British bomber 'D-for-Danny', shot down over occupied central Europe, offers a terrific cast, including Ronald Reagan and Arthur Kennedy (in their second teaming with Flynn), and Alan Hale (in his tenth of 12 Flynn films). The gifted Canadian actor, Raymond Massey, also making his second appearance with Flynn, is a thoroughly hiss-able Nazi Major (speaking the gobbly-gook Hollywood passed off as 'German' in these films) who 'loses' the captured fliers (after a brilliantly funny scene with Reagan, which Flynn, jealous of his co-star, attempted to cut, or have re-written for him), then pursues them, futilely, across the continent. The fliers receive aid from a sympathetic German doctor and his beautiful assistant (Nancy Coleman, providing a bit of romance for Flynn), lose Hale (a truly sad moment, in the film's most dramatic escape), and Flynn, Reagan, and Kennedy eventually discover a captured, fueled British bomber, about to be used to attack England, which provides a convenient means of returning home (so Flynn can have his 'crack' at the 'Japs').
At a running time of 108 minutes, the film seldom drags, provides Flynn a chance to give a "There'll always be an England" soliloquy, and has more one-liners than most screen comedies (Reagan's hilarious 'double-speak', describing allied bomber capabilities, leading to knocking Massey out, with the comment, "The Iron Fist has a Glass Jaw.")
The years have been far kinder to DESPERATE JOURNEY than many other war era films, and it holds it's own very well in the 'Indiana Jones' climate of today's action flicks.
It is certainly a 'must' for any Errol Flynn fan's collection!
