Escape to Glory

At its core, Escape to Glory follows a story that unfolds like this: The Grand Hotel formula that was so overworked in the 1930s made an encore appearance in 1940's Escape to Glory. The story is given timeliness by placing the characters on a British merchant ship on the very day that World War II is declared. The ship is attacked by a Nazi U-Boat, resulting in a variety of reactions from the diverse passengers--one of whom (Erwin Kalser) is a German doctor. Constance Bennett is glamorous, Pat O'Brien is boozy, John Halliday is pensive, and everybody else (except for the German medico) is plain fearful.

What sets it apart is how it treats its drama elements not as decoration but as the engine of the plot. The tagline — "Forget All The Action Pictures You Ever Saw... And Brace Yourself For A New Kind Of Thrill!" — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.
