Director Fritz Lang's masterful Man Hunt (1941), made before the United States had entered World War II, is an unabashed call to arms disguised as an expressionistic thriller. It opens with a bang-or lack thereof-as celebrated hunter Alan Thorndike (Walter Pidgeon) draws a "sporting" bead on none other than Adolf Hitler, and promptly finds himself arrested by the Gestapo, led by the sinister Quive-Smith (George Sanders). When Thorndike escapes, the hunter becomes the hunted: pursued through London's back alleys and subterranean byways by a gang of ruthless Nazis, with only a love-struck girl of the streets (Joan Bennett) to help him.
