Director: Fritz Lang

Writer: Seton I. Miller

From novel: Ministry of Fear by Graham Greene

Music Score: Victor Young

Keywords: Thriller, Film Noir, WWII, Espionage

A newly released asylum inmate is mistaken for a Nazi spy after he guesses the weight of a cake at a small festival. Well-made, suspenseful film noir. Fritz Lang tried to obtain the rights to make the film directly, but was outbid by Paramount who eventually offered directorship of the film to him. Lang did not like the final product.
