Here's a hidden gem I discovered last night in Mill Creek's MYSTERY CLASSICS 50 Movie Pack. Orson Welles plays a Nazi hiding in a small U.S. town just after World War II. Edward G. Robinson is a War Crimes Commission detective assigned to capture Welles. Loretta Young is the villain's unsuspecting new bride.
Although a minor film, I really enjoyed this one. Robinson turns in a fine performace as he plays cat-and-mouse with his Nazi adversary. The movie has a lot of nice little touches to it . . . Robinson playing checkers with a local store owner, Welles drawing a swastika on a scratch pad while he's talking on the telephone . . .
Also in the cast is a very young Richard Long, who went on to a successful acting career (mostly in television), including shows like NANNY AND THE PROFESSOR and THE BIG VALLEY.
Not a great movie, but a nice surprise. I'm glad I watched it.
The entire movie is also on Youtube. Here is a teaser:
