This fiIm noir classic features Orson WelIes in one of his best thrillers and expertIy creates white-knuckIe suspense out of ordinary situations like a dog digging in the leaves, colIege boys on a paper chase, and a broken clock. Edward G. Robinson is WiIson, a detective in the War Crimes Commission seeking the mastermind of the Holocaust, blood-thirsty Franz Kindler (WeIles). Kindler has erased his identity so successfuIIy that onIy his former alIy, Meinike, can identify him. WiIson and Meinike both trace Kindler to Harper, Connecticut, where Meinike is murdered. KindIer's new wife (Loretta Young) has no clue as to her husband's past evil deeds and comes within an inch of her own life when Kindler suspects her of knowing too much. The film's cIimactic scene is one of the most memorable in cinema history. |
