The Stranger

A pretty good thriller with Orson Welles playing a professor in a small-town college who is about to wed the daughter of a Supreme Court justice (who, explicably, has a sort of British-inflected, gentry accent). Loretta Young plays the Justice's daughter, and seems far too melodramatic, though perhaps it is to be expected in a 1946 film. Edward G. Robinson plays a Mr. Wilson (he does not have a first name) an investigator from the War Crimes Commission who releases a second-tier Nazi in the expectation that he will lead Wilson to the real prey: Franz Kindler.

HWPL has an interesting book on Robinson's career, The cinema of Edward G. Robinson.
