Man Hunt (1941)
(Rogue Male)
Country: US
Technical: bw 98m
Director: Fritz Lang
Cast: Walter Pidgeon, Joan Bennett, George Sanders, John Carradine
Synopsis:
A British hunting enthusiast holidaying in Bavaria near Hitler's eyrie is caught by guards and viciously beaten. He escapes, ultimately making it back to London, where he is hounded by spies and helped by a young woman.
Review:
Nimble Fox chase thriller for the war effort, with three very tall male stars towering over Miss Bennett. It is a tall tale altogether, indeed, but well told, with Lang ably orchestrating the espionage iconography after years of practice. (Easy to confuse with Rough Shoot, a Joel McCrea flick from ten years later)
