 This melodrama tells the tale of young American pilots who felt strongly about WWI before the US intervened. These men decided to do their part by working with the Royal Air Force. The German forces are using observation balloons to gather information about allied activities. Several American pilots are sent to destroy the balloons and one flier (played by Humphrey Bogart) is lost. His friend (played by Farrell) says that Bogart was responsible for the success of the mission. Farrell also attempts to locate the widow of the slain flier. He finds a woman who claims that is she. The two of them begin a romance. Soon she is pegged as a German spy who has cost many fliers their lives. When the truth is discovered, that somebody else is responsible for tipping off the Germans, the young lovers are reunited. written by: Sandra Brennan
 Bette Davis' first film, and the first film that Bogart played a heavy. The two were in five pictures together, the most of any of Bogart's leading ladies. A knock-out cast in a drag-out movie. Sidney Fox is a rich deb, daughter of small-town businessman Winninger. She is bored by the local gentry and falls under the oily spell of Bogart, a conman who has come to town to fleece the local yokels. Fox is convinced by Bogart to forge Daddy's name on a letter of endorsement. He shows this letter to the town's merchants, collects a bundle, and slips out, after convincing Fox to elope with him. But Bogart shows his true colors and deserts her in a seedy hotel. Meanwhile, Fox's sister, Davis, has been quietly in love for years with Nagel, a handsome physician who courted Fox to no avail. Davis and Nagel fall in love and when Fox returns from being used by the foul Bogie, she accepts the proposal of Roach, a wealthy young man-about-town who is all sincerity. This film was made when Bogart was 32, five years before he was to be propelled to the top as Duke Mantee in THE PETRIFIED FOREST. reference:www.tvgen.com
 Several years after WW I, rollicking rivals McLaglen and Lowe find themselves back in their beloved Brooklyn. McLaglen now works as a Marine recruiting officer and Lowe, who has had enough of the military, runs a Turkish bathhouse for women. When Lowe's establishment is raided by the police, McLaglen offers to help Lowe escape--but only if he re-enlists. Desperate, Lowe rejoins the Marines and soon finds himself on another crazy adventure. Hooking up with their Marine buddy Brendel, Lowe and McLaglen make their way to Sweden, where they all fall in love with cafe singer Nissen. The three Marines pull their usual mischief on one another while vying for the affections of the sexy Nissen, but they find themselves outclassed when Nissen's huge boy friend arrives on the scene and tosses them out. The crazed, lovesick Swedish giant then proceeds to tear apart the place as the three Marines quickly head for the next port. After a brief stop in Nicaragua (where the Marines are sent to help the locals recover from an earthquake) the boys find themselves in Turkey, where they once again run into Swedish songbird Nissen. Anxious to resume their romantic rivalry, the Marines are dismayed to discover that Nissen is now among the many wives of prince Lugosi's vast harem. Taking a chance while Lugosi is away, the Marines sneak into the harem and entertain the wives with tall tales of their military escapades. Unfortunately, Lugosi returns and catches the men making advances on his wives. The outraged Lugosi orders the Marines castrated, but before the deed can be done, McLaglen, Lowe, and Brendel ship out for their next port.
