I just recently received the VHS version of this picture form nostalgia family video.Although the transfer is analog and not very sharp, it is a Good broad cast print.It looks like early Eastman color.Its a medium budget film and an early anti Nazi intrigue film. The word Nazi is never used cause at that time they didn't want to start a war yet. The plot is that the captain of Darmouth naval college has been murdered. The murder was intended for the head of the college, by played Leslie Banks, because he knew of the torpedo, in the bay. He gets aid from his son who wants to quit the military and go into business with with a friend an alleged astronomer visits this college then claims he's a an agent. This was the first and only feature in a early single strip color process called ,Dufeycoulor, which used tiny micro color lenses , rather than dye emolution,. Now this was a probably restored print using Eastman color process. Its hard no notice any grainy look since its printed un sharply on tape. but i bet you if projected on screen the grain would be more noticeable.It was used only for one feature because of the war needs to salvage film stock. Joan bridge,who was a Technicolor associate adviser, was an associate adviser for Dufycolour. My guess ,also, Technicolor, of england, might have bought them out too too
