1943, early Otto Preminger
In a sense, throwaway propoganda, but fine all the same
use of some darker contrasts and deep focus to show embassy- theatrical otherwise
long takes as well, but generally ping pong
a few lighting bits and bobs, dark shadows in well constructed spaces
Preminger himself steals the acting as the consul
film notable for recognising goodness and Germans, and slightly farcical motives
occasional surprising lines, cut that little deeper
incidental, servicable
