| Product Description: |
| Anthony Mann directs this historical adventure photographed in stunning black and white by the master of light and shadow, John Alton. Best known for his Noir work â often referred to as âpainting with lightââ Alton demonstrates his skill for creating atmosphere and suspense. Some scenes are as dark as the events in this story: in the aftermath of Revolutionary leader Robespierreâs (Richard Basehart, He Walked by Night) ruthless and brutal rise to dictator of France, true patriot Charles DâAubigny (Robert Cummings, Dial M for Murder) assumes the disguise of his countryâs most feared torturer, âThe Butcher of Strasbourg,â in the hopes of infiltrating Robespierreâs circle. Political moderates have tasked DâAubigny with locating a black book â a personal diary of the Terror â containing information that can inspire the overthrow of Robespierre and return France to the hands of men of âlibertié, égalitié, fraternitié.â Gripping and tense, this suspense flick dressed up in costume features terrific performances all around from a cast which includes Arlene Dahl, Arnold Moss, Norman Lloyd and Charles McGraw. Newly remastered. |
