MINISTRY OF FEAR (THE CRITERION COLLECTION)

Details

• Release Year: 1944
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Film-Noir, Mystery, Romance, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: Suffused with dread and paranoia, Fritz Lang's adaptation of Graham Greene's novel is a plunge into the eerie shadows of a world turned upside down by war. On his way to London after being released from a mental asylum, Stephen Neale (Ray Milland) stops at a seemingly innocent village fair, after which he finds himself caught in the web of a sinister, possibly Nazi-connected underworld. Lang was among the most illustrious of the European émigré filmmakers working in Hollywood during World War and Ministry of Fear is one of his finest American productions, an unpredictable thriller with style to spare.
