Length: 1hr 55m. Genre: Drama/Mystery.
Starring: Orson Welles and Loretta Young. Directed by Orson Welles.
Synopsis. Immediately following World War II, ex-Nazi Franz Kindler (Orson Welles) is living under a false identity as a teacher in a small Connecticut town, and married to the headmaster's daughter (Loretta Young) as part of his cover. But when one of Kindler's old German associates (Konstantin Shayne) arrives unexpectedly in town, bringing in his wake a sly federal investigator (Edward G. Robinson), Kindler resorts to desperate measures to preserve his secret. (Google)
My opinion. This movie was so good. Not good like the later Hitchcocks are good, but considering that it was produced in the 40's, the quality is good, the acting is good, and the plot is superb. Very intense, very interesting, and a bit PG-13 because of the ending. It did end abruptly, but all's well that end's well and idrc if it's not as conclusive as other movies (like Vertigo, LOL).
