| This film noir classic features Orson WelIes in one of his best thrillers and expertly 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 KindIer (WelIes). KindIer has erased his identity so successfully that only his former aIly, Meinike, can identify him. Wilson and Meinike both trace KindIer to Harper, Connecticut, where Meinike is murdered. Kindler's new wife (Loretta Young) has no cIue as to her husband's past eviI deeds and comes within an inch of her own Iife when KindIer suspects her of knowing too much. The film's climactic scene is one of the most memorabIe in cinema history. |
