Everything Is Thunder

Hugh McGrath (Douglass Montgomery) escapes from a German POW camp. He's in big trouble coz not only has he escaped, but he has also killed a German guard in doing so. A nationwide search for him is launched. He makes it to Berlin where he takes shelter with Anna (Constance Bennett). However, Detective Gotz (Oskar Homolka) is never far behind....

I felt that more could have happened in the film and I'm not sure what the title means. The acting is fine by all concerned, although it is slightly unbelievable how Anna and Hugh fall in love and marry in such a short space of time. The film is tense during two main sections - the beginning when Hugh makes his escape, and more notably, at the end, once Hugh and Anna make a break for it. In between this, we have quite an empty film with Hugh holed up in Anna's department. Still, it's an OK film - and I didn't expect the sacrifice at the end.
