Directed by Fritz Lang • 1943 • United States
Starring Brian Donlevy, Walter Brennan, Anna Lee
The combination of Bertolt Brecht’s eloquent script (the legendary playwright’s only Hollywood credit), director Fritz Lang’s potent moral themes, and noirish cinematography by the great James Wong Howe come together for one of Hollywood’s most powerful anti-Nazi statements—electrifying propaganda in the form of a gripping thriller. Brian Donlevy stars as Czechoslovak surgeon František Svoboda, who assassinates the notorious Nazi commander Reinhard Heydrich, the so-called “Hangman of Europe.” As Svoboda goes on the run through the underground resistance, the Nazis unleash a new wave of terror.
