Never trust a man in a monocle, 15 June 2009
7/10
Author: moviemanMA from Massachusetts

Lang is one of the greatest filmmakers to come out of Europe. Although this might not be his best work, it is fascinating to watch. It is clearly an attack at the Third Reich and all the evil doings that Hitler and his army were doing. Made just before the US entered the war, this film shows how one man stands up to one of the greatest threats the world has ever known. My one knock against the film is that there is too much sappy dialogue that has little to do with the plot. Also, Bennett's British accent is possibly the worst ever recorded on film. She means well but tries too hard. There are some nice looking scenes thanks to the work of Lang and cinematographer Arthur Miller (not the playwright), but I expect that from a Lang picture. Were this film more focused on the real story of survival, this would have been a lot better. Still an enjoyably film.
