THE FILM BUFFET- A Feast for Your Eyes March 30, 2008

Toronto Film Society presents part 5 of 7 double feature presentations at their popular Sunday Afternoon at the Movies
ESPIONAGE
THEY CAME TO BLOW UP AMERICA 1943 dir. Edward Ludwig w. George Sanders, Anna Sten, Ward Bond
Government agent (Sanders) is ordered to join the Nazi Bund (underground movement in the US) as a spy. He takes the identity of one of them but must betray his lover to the Gestapo to the save the mission. Based on the true story of Nazi saboteurs that were put ashore off the coast of New York in 1942.
DECISION BEFORE DAWN 1952 dir. Anatole Litvak w. Richard Basehart, Oskar Werner, Gary Merrill
A tough, gritty, dangerous look at Germany in its final stage of the war. Filmed in a destroyed post war Germany, Werner portrays a German POW medic who naively becomes a traitor to his country by spying for the Allies. The film, without stereotypes, captures the human drama and grim realism of war and still holds as a thrilling espionage tale. For all those who think Hollywood could only make fluff in those days, think again. Nominated for Oscars for Best Picture, Best Editing, Golden Globe, DGA (Director's Guild)
