In a long hunt that takes him to South America before returning to the United States, an FBI agent finds a former leading figure of the Nazi regime, hiding in an American village under a new name and a new respectability. This 1946 film was directed by the great Orson Welles, who also played the Nazi. The FBI agent is played by the great Edward G. Robinson, a famous pre-war film noir actor who was one of the few to dare, with Warner’s help, to denounce the Nazi regime before the United States entered the war, in the face of ongoing censorship by the US State Department.
