The life of a loyal American shop owner will be turned topsy turvy when his identical twin – a Nazi secret agent – returns. But when his brutish brother is killed, he’ll flip the script and assume his identity in order to spy on the spies. Conrad Veidt, the legendary anti-Nazi actor who fled Germany with his Jewish wife, stars in dual roles. In his feature film directorial debut, Jules Dassin helms an enjoyable low budget spy thriller released a month after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
