Charles Booth won an Oscar for his writing

Charles Booth won an Oscar for his writing on this early drama-documentary depicting the hunt by the FBI for an established network of Nazi fifth columnists long since operating in the USA. It falls to agent "Bill Dietrich" (William Eythe) to infiltrate the cell and to find out who is ultimately giving the orders - the mysterious "Mr. Christopher". Reporting to "Insp, Briggs" (Lloyd Nolan) he treads a perilous path as his newfound friends doubt his backstory and suspect him of being a double-agent. I was put off by the overly earnest narrative from Reed Hadley, and the acting is all pretty lacklustre aside from Leo G. Carroll as the duplicitous "Col. Hammersohn" who is feeding the information to "Dietrich" whilst simultaneously trying to verify his identity. The ending is all too predictable and that really lets it down quite badly. For such a sophisticated network of spies to be quite so easy to identify is doubtless meant to be a testament to the skills of the wartime FBI, but as a device for a story, it lacks credibility: the fire escape, really? Henry Hathaway keeps it moving along well enough but the story leaves just too obvious a trail of breadcrumbs for it to be intriguing, or plausible.

Spy Address.

Henry Hathaway directed this spy film presented in semi-documentary fashion starring Lloyd Nolan as FBI Inspector George Briggs, who is in charge of the counter-terrorist division that recruits German-speaking William Dietrich(played by William Eythe) to infiltrate a cell of German spies sent to America to gather information on the construction of the atomic bomb. The FBI allows its 92nd. street headquarters to remain open in order to identify its highest-level operatives, which involve a Mr. Christopher, though Dietrich's main contact is a woman(played by Signe Hasso) How long before he can identify his targets, or end up identified himself? Fine film effectively uses the semi-documentary approach, with Lloyd Nolan the standout, and would reprise the role in semi-sequel "The Street With No Name".
