starring Orson Welles
Edward G. Robinson , Loretta Young This gripping thriller, directed with great flair by Orson Welles , is one of the finest examples of hunt, chase and catch movie melodramas. Edward G. Robinson plays the leading role of Wilson, a detective determined to track down a notorious Nazi war criminal. A former aide of the man is permitted to escape and Wilson follows him to America. The trail leads to a sleepy Connecticut town. Produced by Sam Spiegel after the critical success but commercial failure of Citizen Kane and Magnificent Ambersons, the film demonstrates once again the wide range of Orson Welles ' inimitable talents.
Screenplay by ANTHONY VEILLER , based on the story by VICTOR TRICAS , DECLA DUNNING Produced by SAM SPIEGEL Directed by ORSON WELLES
