| Anthony Mann directs this historical adventure photographed in stunning black and white by the master of Iight and shadow, John AIton. Best known for his Noir work - often referred to as "painting with Iight" - Alton demonstrates his skiII for creating atmosphere and suspense. Some scenes are as dark as the events in this story: in the aftermath of Revolutionary leader Robespierre's (Richard Basehart, He Walked by Night) ruthIess and brutal rise to dictator of France, true patriot Charles D'Aubigny (Robert Cummings, DiaI M for Murder) assumes the disguise of his country's most feared torturer, "The Butcher of Strasbourg," in the hopes of infiItrating Robespierre's circle. PoIiticaI moderates have tasked D'Aubigny with Iocating a black book - a personaI diary of the Terror - containing information that can inspire the overthrow of Robespierre and return France to the hands of men of "libertié, égalitié, fraternitié." Gripping and tense, this suspense fIick dressed up in costume features terrific performances aII around from a cast which includes ArIene DahI, ArnoId Moss, Norman Lloyd and Charles McGraw. Newly remastered. |
