Counter-espionage (1942)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Edward Dmytryk
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Sony Screen Classics by Request)
(Turner Classic Movies)

The Lone Wolf turns undercover Nazi spy hunter in blitzkrieg-era London. He uses secret plans for a "beam detector" as bait. However, Scotland Yard and his old American nemeses are hot on his trail, convinced he is really working for the Nazis. It's badly dated and relies on stereotypes for characterization.
