Bewertung von Dire_Straits
This FBI docu-drama propaganda film (much like the films, "The Street With No Name" and "T-Men") is barely noir, but it's a real attention-grabber because it is done in such a gripping, realistic manner.
Made not too long after WWII, you can still feel the dark paranoia of the Nazi fifth columnists - this itself makes it noir. Crime, as we now know it, is barely existent in the film. The crimes being committed here are of the subversive pro-Goebbels variety, at that time - alive and well in New York City.
The film is ridden with outdated FBI methods (two-way mirrors, microfilm, etc.); so keep that in mind, and the very end is pretty ridiculous too, but try and play along.
Not a bad performance in the film but no stand-outs either. Definitely worth watching as both a period piece and a sell-out to J. Edgar Hoover (who is hunting something other than Commies for once).
Thus were the times.
