Fritz Lang 's MAN HUNT-For Sale/DVD-Walter Pidgeon, Joan Bennett, George Sanders

A hunter finds himself in a world of danger when he pursues a new and dangerous quarry -- Adolph Hitler -- in this WWII thriller. Capt. Thorndike (Walter Pidgeon) is an expert big-game hunter from England who, while vacationing in Bavaria, happens upon Hitler's Berchtesgaden estate; he has his rifle in tow, and he quickly realizes that it would be surprisingly easy to assassinate the fascist leader. After catching Hitler in the crosshairs of his rifle, Thorndike is about to load and fire when he is ambushed by Maj. Quive-Smith (George Sanders), a Gestapo leader assigned to guard the Führer. By the time Thorndike returns to London, the hunter has become the hunted, with Gestapo agents combing the streets of London looking for the would-be assassin. Thorndike finds an unlikely ally in Jerry (Joan Bennett), a seamstress and sometimes streetwalker who takes him in and helps him hide from the German forces closing in around him. Man Hunt was directed by Fritz Lang, the great German director who fled to Paris in 1933 rather than accept a commission from Joseph Goebbels to make Nazi propaganda films. He came to America the following year.
