Title: Movie with a super match. Post by: Svengoolie 3 on August 02, 2019, 01:34:53 AM I remember an old movie I saw long ago that was I think made before ww2.it was about a greedy businessman who destroyed a lot of lives and caused a lot of harm to make his fortune. I think he sold weapons to Hitler illegally.
I remember he owned a match factory and this scientist invented a super match that could be struck, blown out and struck again and again. This would have devastated the guy's match business so he stole the secret and had the scientist lost at sea where he drowned. Apparently at the end of his life he was seeing all the horrible evil he'd done and the scientist drowning. Yah yeah I know a match like that is baloney but I just remembered those bits of that movie for some reason. Title: Re: Movie with a super match.

Actually, I thought I'd seen it, but it must have been something different. The information is from the wikipedia page. Title: Re: Movie with a super match.
