The Gentleman from Nowhere (1948)

This complex script based on impersonation is written by Edward Anhalt, a twice Oscar winner for original stories ("Panic in the streets" and "the Sniper"), was also nominated twice again, and also wrote the scripts of "the Boston stranger" and "Jeremiah Johnson". In this short William Castle mystery movie, there are a considerable number of events that go crescendo from a simple heist to a major scientific project. This movie is nervously directed by William Castle who found pleasure in directing insurance characters with their usual big mouth speaking. There are some good expressionist night scenes. Very entertaining.
