Movie review - "Victory" (1940) ***1/2

 Not very well known and I'm not a huge fan of Frederick Marsh (old, slightly hammy) or Betty Field (all nervous ticks) but Conrad's novel is well adapted by John Balderstone and excellently directed by John Cromwell helped by a terrifying performance from Cedric Hardwicke. He and his three rogues are genuinely scary.
