(1946) Edward G. Robinson, Orson Welles, Loretta Young, Richard Long, Philip Merivale. Robinson is excellent as the soft-spoken investigator, Mr. Wilson of the War Crimes Commission. He is searching for the notorious Franz Kindler, one of the masterminds of the Holocaust, who is hiding, incognito, in plain sight. Robinson releases one of Kindler's former cronies in an effort to track down his target, but he is murdered before he can identify the killer. At this point Robinson's only clue is Kindler's strange fascination with antique clocks. A beautiful woman (Young) finds herself caught up in the middle of the investigation and soon her life is in peril as she finds her heart torn between love and truth.
