It ruined one of my favorite books by adding useless shit and in no way being as dirty and tense, but it's by Fritz Lang and has pretty good acting (except for the worst "British" woman in film history) for a script that is pretty shitty. Nerd brain explode word no make write good. Ugg. Fuck it. It sucked. Sorry Mr. Lang.
cool premise and george sanders makes a great nazi in spite of a british accent. in fact our hero walter pidgeon is the only character without a british accent but i suppose a bad one might be more distracting than none.
Fritz Lang can at last say to the American audience who's Adolf Hitler. Joan Bennett is attracted by Walter Pidgeon but he considers her rather as his daughter than as a potential conquest. By the way, is she a seamstress or a prostitute ? Why but why does John Carradine use carrier-pigeons when he could use a phone ? Lots of arrows and hearts in the film, is Fritz Lang a romantic after all ? Walter Pidgeon hides in the woods, in the London underground, in a closet, in the shadows and finally in a den. The guy is asocial without a doubt. One of my favorite Lang movies. Masterpiece.
