RKO Radio Pictures
Directed by Jacques Tourneur
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
Post WWII Germany is the setting for this partially successful Tourneur thriller. It tends to get bogged down in documentary-like narration, although the images of a war ravaged Frankfurt are historically interesting. The four main characters represent the victorious Allies in post-war Europe, a rather obvious symbolism, and stereotypes abound. Nonetheless, when the final act in a bombed-out brewery unwinds things do get interesting.
