Man Hunt

"Man Hunt" directed by Fritz Lang, the first film I watched in La Filmo, from 1941 starring Walter Pidgeon and Joan Bennett(doing a hilariously bad cockney accent throughout the film). Pidgeon in the role as british leisure-hunter Alan Thorndike who attempts to assasin Adolf Hitler. Thorndike is caught by german soldiers and tortured, however he manages to escape to England where he meets Jerry (Bennett) a young poor cockney girl in need of some company. The germans have tracked him to england, and he is therefore forced to stay with Jerry, with whom he falls in love with. The story takes an, if possible, even more drastic turn when the germans kill Jerry while Thorndike is in hiding in the suburbs of London.
It is actually quite a complicated story, incredibly interesting, exciting and amusing. Definitely worth watching, I'd say, and also, incidentally, the best Fritz Lang film I've seen so far (I haven't seen a lot though, not even Metropolis, so don't judge me).
Keep reading, I'll post my Paris pictures later!
