“Loose lips sink ships,” was a warning seen everywhere during World War 2 in America. In this highly dramatic training film, starring Richard Carlson with Donna Reed, Barry Nelson and Esther Williams, unfortunately that comes true. The framework of the film is a lecture to a freshman class for spies in Germany who will soon be sent to the USA. As the cynical, sardonic instructor says, “Here is an incident to illustrate how our enemies talk, think and are criminally careless.” The mission in the case study is to discover convoy sailing times & routes so U-Boats can sink them. The story line follows three servicemen, “Bob, Bill and Jack,” from their hometowns to their port of departure. Despite trying to be careful, small things they say and do are pieced together by German agents to form a big picture. Among their many mistakes: just because someone goes to your church or wears a uniform doesn't mean they can be trusted; phone conversations that aren't really private; thinking you are being clever hiding information when your really giving it away, your trash can speak volumes, and booze and hot dames in a crowded bar can be a recipe for disaster. “Just like shooting ducks in a pond.” All told in a highly polished Hollywood “Film Noir” style.

This film had quite a bit of damage to the audio track. I was able to restore almost all of it.
