Auer, and originally known by its working title, An American Story.[2] Steeped in the propaganda tones of early World War II features, the film is largely B-fare. PlotFive defense workers on their way to the munitions factory tell their stories: a refugee from the French Resistance, a frustrated race car driver, a prison warden, a former Miss America, and an intellectual who dropped out of society and saw the country as a bum.[3] Cast
ReceptionDespite its attempt to divert from the usual formulaic patriotic films of the period, Gangway for Tomorrow was relegated to second billing in most theatres. Critical reviews, however, were more sympathetic, the New York Daily Mirror noted, "The screen as a medium for useful propaganda is well illustrated by Gangway for Tomorrow ... Turning in the best performances are Margo, John Carradine ... and Robert Ryan."[4] In a similar vein; "An unpretentious little film, running at just 69 minutes, Gangway is nevertheless fresh and bright in treatment and provides an interesting story of five factory workers ... The members of the cast, in particular, Margo and Robert Ryan, handle their assignments well."[5] ReferencesNotes1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.afi.com/members/catalog/DetailView.aspx?s=&Movie=445| title=Gangway for Tomorrow: Detail View | publisher=American Film Institute | accessdate=April 27, 2014}} 2. ^"Notes: Gangway for Tomorrow."
