Confirm or Deny is a 1941 war drama film directed by Archie Mayo and starring Don Ameche, Joan Bennett and Roddy McDowall.

Mitch is anxiously waiting for news of the expected German invasion of Britain from a reporter on the Continent (the United States being neutral at the time), determined to scoop his competition.

He manages to rent Sir Titus Scott's wire from Penzance in Cornwall for a week to save forty minutes (for an exorbitant amount, much to the dismay of his boss, H. Cyrus Stuyvesant).

The New York Times review described the film as "another of those somewhat incredible yet moderately exciting melodramas which employs a strikingly realistic background of exploding bombs and crumbling buildings for no other purpose save to provide topical dressing for a routine romantic excursion.

"[1] The reviewer did, however, like the work of Ameche ("breezy performance"), Bennett ("a splendid blackout find"), McDowell ("a sincere and touching portrait of youth in war") and Shields ("a telling characterization of a blind telegraph operator").
