Bogart plays Jean Matrac, a World War II French patriot who escapes Devil's Island, survives a dangerous freighter voyage and becomes a gunner in the Free French Air Corps. Passage sailed into theaters on stormy seas. Controversy surrounded the scene in which Matrac machine-guns the helpless survivors of a downed plane that had attacked the freighter. That a soldier of freedom (one played by Bogart, no less!) would act ignobly brought protests from religious and censorship groups. But, like Matrac facing a strafing dive-bomber, the studio held its ground. War could even dehumanize a hero. Domestic prints would remain uncut. Year: 1944 Director: Michael Curtiz Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Claude Rains, Michelle Morgan, Philip Dorn, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre Special Feature: Original Theatrical Trailer B&W/110 Mins. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Great movie! Be warned, this is not your typical Bogart movie if all you are used to is Casablanca and the Maltese Falcon, however it is highly recommended if you want to see Bogart in a different type of role, and don't mind him being not as noble as some of his other films portray him. Rating: - Passage to Marseille- Review The movie provides a perspective of wartime France that one does not usually see. The film was made when the outcome of the war was not decided. One also sees some of the conflicts experienced by citizens caught up in war. It therefore provided an alternative perspective of the French- they are not all quitters. They are still fighting. The movie is definitely not politically correct. One sees altruism and self sacrifice next to retribution. One sees wise and stupid formal leadership. One sees the ...

He plays French newspaper reporter Jean Matrac who is framed on a murder charge after criticizing the Munich Pact in an editorial and sentenced to Devil's Island. He and a small group of convicts escape in a canoe when they learn of the Nazis invading France, ostensibly wishing to fight for their country. (Matrac merely wants to get home to his new bride and cares nothing about France after the way he was treated by its justice system.) They are picked up at sea by a French cargo ... Read More Rating: - Wartime propaganda If TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT was a direct descendent of CASABLANCA, then this picture too was an attempt to cash in on the success (or parts of it) of that beauty. But it's a poor relative. Told as a flashback within a flashback, a group of convicts escapes from Devil's Island in order to go to France to fight the Nazis; their leader is Bogie who confesses he doesn't really want to go back to France to fight, but rather for a woman. But of course his conscience is put to the test and he gets his thinking straightened ... Read More Rating: - Another WB/Curtiz/Bogart classic Yes, it's dated all right-in the best sense: it's got virtually the same cast and crew as "Casablanca"(though Michele Morgan is no Ingrid Bergman, lovely though she is-and as someone else pointed out, hers *is* a thankless role in an all-male film). It's full of action, suspense, atmosphere(the famous huge tank built on a WB sound stage a few years earlier really comes in handy, as much of the action takes place on ships and boats)-and humor, to temper the super-patriotic slant of the plot-after all, it was mid-war, ...
