The NYT review at the time of the film's release says,
"Address Unknown" is not just another anti-Nazi picture. It is an absorbing study of a man being driven crazy through fear, and the central character is played with dynamic forcefulness by Paul Lukas. The tragic atmosphere of the picture has been heightened through the brilliant use of lowkey lighting effects by William Cameron Menzies, ... Mr. Menzies, cloaking the greater part of the story in deep, brooding, shadowy photography, methodically builds the tension into one of the most spine-chilling climaxes you'll encounter in many weeks of moviegoing.

...this reminders me of Elvis' "Return to Sender!"
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm singing the Elvis song :)
DeleteThis one sounds worth checking out. You've been writing about a lot of horror lately, and nice to see a change of pace. Happy new week.
ReplyDeleteThe horror is mostly left over from me pre-scheduling posts back in October when I was watching several horror movies a day lol
DeleteThis sounds familiar, but I don't know if I've actually seen it or not. Maybe getting the theme mixed up with The Man in the High Tower
ReplyDeleteThe Man in the High Tower is alternative history, though. Nazis. Such a timely subject :(
DeleteI will watch this later today. Thanks so much for all the great titles you find.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it. I enjoy these old films.
