Nothing it seems....
You have to replace this film in the context of the time. Yet America had to be lured to step in the war. The end speaks for itself.
Have you heard of propaganda film?
With The great Dictactor it is one of the best in this kind, for me, of course.
No continuty?
Well tell me more about that...
Follow Ups:
Now I already must answer my own post!
Victor WHERE are you?????
Continuity. Really, I don't know what film you've watched if you argue the point.
Some of the more ridiculous parts (so many, many more): Jones sends his friends off to get the cops (who have gone off into the distance when it is clearly seen no car could be there) but they never return, he walks to town engages in some banter and is shocked when finally cops return with him there are no badguys, no tracks from the car, what happened to the plane and the cops never saw it, landing strip in a marsh, hide in the windmill room, up AND down the stairs unobserved by five or six guys----well, a sensible observer at some point says "Whoa!"
Zero suspense.
Maybe we are arguing for nothing! This film and I remember well, has been severly cut in the past! Maybe you have seen this version?
The full film has been restaured ten years ago or so.So to the facts:
When Jones comes back to the mills with the cops from the town, his friends just came back from the other direction ( you can see the car on the RIGHT side of the road )with the police, they just meet at this point.
A little short maybe, but still logical.
The men took the car away and the plane took of!
But you know what a Mc Guffin his?
the bad guys (a lot of 'em) are in the windmill, just escaped from a bunch of cops, and NOT ONE of them looks out the window to see the cops go by or see our hero Jones walk up to the windmill? C'mon!
The problem is the way you saw it. It is just not your cup of tea. It is more of an atmosphere story than a logical to logical one.
You just have to lay back and enjoy...Or not.
Your lost.PS: GS only for that cad is this film worth!
