I love a WWII movie made during WWII. Man Hunt was made before the U.S. entered the war, and it's a sharp noir film directed by Fritz Lang. In it, a sharpshooter slash big-game hunter has Hitler in his sights, is tortured by the Nazis, and then is chased through London by a Nazi George Sanders. There is lots to love here, including a very young Roddy McDowell, who is excellent. Joan Bennett is very strangely miscast as a working-class Londoner, but overall this is an exciting and fun picture with lost of surprises up its sleeve.
