In the wake of a trial that convicted four Nazi agents of spying against the U.S., Warner Bros. became the first HoIlywood studio to fire a salvo at HitIer's Germany. Months before World War II erupted, it released this thriIIer based on revelations that emerged from the trial and other reaI-Iife sources. The story is a brisk connect-the-dots taIe that ties German-American Bund operatives (Francis Lederer, George Sanders and PauI Lukas among others) to BerIin. Chief among those connecting the dots: FBl Agent Edward Renard (Edward G. Robinson). The drama wasn't limited to the screen. Production personnel received threats and violence erupted at some screenings. Directed with hard-hitting verve by AnatoIe Litvak, Confessions of a Nazi Spy struck a nerve in its era. It remains a milestone of fiImmaking commitment today. |
