Contraband (1940) is a wartime spy film by the British director-writer team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, which reunited stars Conrad Veidt and Valerie Hobson after their earlier appearance in The Spy in Black the previous year. On this occasion, Veidt plays a hero, something he did not do very often.
The title of the film in the United States was Blackout. Powell writes in his autobiography, A Life in Movies, as saying that the U.S. renaming was a better title and he wished he had thought of it.

#Gene Autry#as someone who has NEVER - to his shame - seen a Gene Autry movie the more I hear about his career the more it fascinates me#Autry's imprint remains large (if quieter than before) in SoCal... I still see the Angels as his team even though...#... I didn't know who he was until after he passed
