Retrospective

Cloak and Dagger

FromFritz Lang

WithGARY COOPER, LILLI PALMER, ROBERT ALDA, VLADIMIR SOKOLOFF u.a.

Year1946

Duration106min.

For the fourth and final time, Fritz Lang embarks on a cinematic campaign against the already defeated Nazis: physicist Alvah is to find out for the USA how far the German nuclear weapons programme has already progressed. After receiving a tip from a deserted colleague (Thimig), he tries to make contact with a scientist in Italy whose daughter has been kidnapped by the Germans. On his odyssey through Europe, he falls in love with a resistance fighter ... Even if it is more of a second-rate work, the master's style and signature are unmistakable. The cautionary ending, in which Lang warns of ‘Year 1 of the atomic age’ and its fatal consequences, was removed by the studio without further ado in favour of a happy ending. (Florian Widegger)
