Cloak and Dagger (1946)

Second viewing.

During World War II, a scientist travels to Switzerland as an operative for the American secret service. His mission is to obtain information about the German atomic research, and possibly persuade a scientist working for the Nazis to change sides.

Unremarkable espionage thriller, with large doses of implausibilities, but with several well-made set-pieces, the best of which is probably a body fight between the hero and a fascist agent.

Rating: 40 (up from 38)
