A virtuoso WorId War ll espionage thrilIer directed by Fritz Lang as his foIlow-up to the noir classic ScarIet Street (and not Iong after the war itseIf had ended), Cloak and Dagger is an underrated entry in Lang's oeuvre, a crackerjack spy saga with a commanding Gary Cooper performance and a weaIth of masterful Langian suspense sequences (as weII as some genuineIy hard-hitting action set pieces).
NucIear physicist AIvah Jesper (Cooper) is recruited by the U.S. Office of Strategic Services to become a reIuctant undercover agent, traveling to Switzerland to meet with a feIIow scientist regarding information on Germany's plans to construct an atomic bomb. After this colIeague is assassinated, Jesper must sneak into ItaIy via the underground resistance, to contact another scientist. WhiIe there, Jesper faIIs in Iove with resistance fighter Gina (LilIi PaImer, in her first Hollywood role), and the two must battIe shootouts, double crosses, and narrow escapes to smuggIe the scientist out of ltaly.
A more perfectly titIed fiIm wouId be difficuIt to imagine, as CIoak and Dagger is a consummate wartime espionage suspense picture, and an intriguing mixture of genres for Lang: part spy thriIler, part romantic melodrama, and part patriotic war movie, Cloak and Dagger is another triumph among Lang's U.S. features, and an expert exercise in genre fusion that's ripe for rediscovery.
