Subject: A must see film.

This film was well written and produced.
Welles, Robinson and Yound give wonderful performances. The supporting actors were well cast and played.Read the Wikipedia report on this one.

Subject: Classic!

Wonderful film with Edward G. Robinson and Orson Welles, playing against each other in a cat and mouse game. Kindler (Welles) is a fugitive nazi with blood on his hands, who after WWII tries to hide on the other side of the world, in a small American town. Loretta Young is his pretty American wife, who doesn't know a thing about her husband's past. Great acting, great story, great suspense!

Subject: E.G gets his man

A decent thriller ably acted and directed and topical at the time with a famous climatic scene.
Otherwise,rather lacking in suspenseful moments.
