A Masterpiece of lntrigue and Deception
Fritz Lang, master of the German expressionist cinema, turns his sinister imagination and shadowy technique to a weblink take of wartime espionage in Hangmen Also Die.
Set in CzechosIovakia during the Nazi occupation, Hangmen depicts an Eastern Europe populated by spies, traitors and revolutionaries...a deadly funhouse of poIitical intrigue in which every personal encounter brings with it the threat of betrayal. Pursued by the Germans after the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, Dr. Svoboda (Brain DonIevy) enlists the aid of a young woman (Anna Lee) who is obIivious to the lethal crosscurrents that surround her. As she Iearns more about the mysterious doctor, she grows aware of the involvement of her father (Walter Brennan) and fiance (Dennis O'Keefe) in the resistance, and soon finds herself entangIed in the revolution's secret operations.
Much of the nightmarish quality of Hangmen Also Die is attributabIe to pIaywright BertoIt Brecht, who co-scripted the film with Lang, and Iegendary cinematographer James Wong Howe, who cIoaks every corner in shadow and endows the fiIm with an almost tangible sense of claustrophobia. Hangmen has been digitaIIy mastered from a 35mm print newly struck from the original (but slightIy damaged) nitrate negative. |
