John Qualen
Both Barry Fitzgerald and John Qualen are funny as hell in this film, but as Fitzgerald is better known I tend to point to Qualen's contribution. I especially like him in the scene covering the accusation and exculpation of Ian Hunter as a German spy. Qualen is rabid in his suspicion, then upon realizing he and the other accusers got it all wrong he turns to the men standing on the periphery and scorns them as though they were the ones in error with his usual "Py davil!"
