Viewing Notes

A good noir dealing with revenge and the post-war issue of Nazi war criminals who have escaped to Argentina.

Dick Powell, following up on the success of MURDER, MY SWEET, plays a similar type character: world weary, cynical tough guy. It has murder, intrigue, shady characters, and an exotic locale.
