Wissenswertes
Due to military intelligence and secrecy reasons, Hollywood film studios were prevented by the U.S. government from mentioning the OSS (the Office of Strategic Services) in movies during World War II. However, this movie was first released in September 1946, which was after the end of World War II, hence explaining why the OSS was mentioned in this movie.

Patzer
Establishing footage of Switzerland goes back to about 1920, based on the vintage women's fashions and automobiles briefly seen, even though it's supposed to be contemporary mid 1940's WWII era.

Zitate
Prof. Alvah Jesper: I am scared stiff. For the first time thousands of our fine scientists are working together, and to make what?... A bomb! But who was willing to finance before the war, to wipe out tuberculosis. And when are we going to be given a billion dollars to wipe out cancer? I tell you we could do it in one year!

Crazy Credits
Opening credits prologue: Toward the end of the war... the mountain border of Southern France.

I'm Not Bond, I'm Not James Bond

Oftenly overlooked and seemingly forgotten Fritz Lang's WWII espionage thriller. Although passable by Lang's standards, but entertaining enough for die hard noir and spy genre enthusiasts. This film is most notable because of being one of the first mainstream movies with anti-nuclear attitude. Lot of that was cut out from final film of course.

'Cloak and Dagger' is war time melodrama in dark espionage sauce - there is romance, there action, there are thrills. Still the film feels little uneven at places. Gary Cooper's performance as professor Jesper was cool and charming, but at places he seemed too skilled and experienced as an secret agent opposed that he supposed to be just scientist inexperienced at secret agent field. That kind of gives the film James Bond like fairy tale super agent feel. Not that is a bad thing itself.

Fritz Lang is one of those directors whom every film I want to see, and 'Cloak and Dagger' didn't disappoint me at all. Entertaining flick with enough juice to nail the viewer to the screen from beginning to end.
