You can see them in the studoi streets in the studio commissary lunching, quite often, with English Tommies from the set of “Waterloo Bridge.” They're there, these Nazis, with no folderol, no claptrap, hocus-pocus such as marked their first film work last year in ‘Confessions of a Nazi Spy.” The “Confessions” were filmed in secrecy. There was hushed- up talk about threatening letters, about strange accidents and near-accidents on the set. There was abundant evidence either that Nazi sympathizers in this country didn't like the idea of a picture about themselves, or that secrecy in this instance was considered the better part of publicity From Metro's “Mortal Storm,” so far, have come no rumors of Nazi anguish. .Outwardly, at least, this looks like any other picture as it goes on its day to day production schedule. It's odd, of course. to sec those swastika-banded arms on the extras’ uniforms in this free country, but after a while the strangeness seems no greater than that of Zulu warriors or Civil War belles or the ru\(‘ll\(‘n of D.

Then it was a question of “protécting” Metro's foreign market. Today- “Well," says Borzage, “we're filming a human interest story of a family’s disintegration. It just happens to have Nazi Ger- many its background. Our picture won't have any ‘heavies’ and it's not an attack on Germany. It's just a picture of what happens when a force like that arises. There are no heavies because storm troopers are shown believing in what they do.” “But the fans can draw their own conclusions, Mr. B.?" “Well—yes. We don't condone the brutality, naturally. We try to show the fanatic fervor that motivates it, but we don't excuse it the The picture, like the Bottome book, has a Jewish professor (Prank Morgan) married to an “Aryan” who has two children by a previous marriage and two others (including Margaret Sul- Javan) who are half-Jewish. With Hitler and his creed comes disintegration—the breaking of family ties, a mortal storm that engulfs Jew and “Aryan” (Robert Young, James Stewart) alike.
