Anatole Litvak directed this docudrama dealing with covert Nazi activities in America beginning in 1937, where a prominent German physician named Dr. Kassel(played by Paul Lukas) has just given a propaganda speech to the growing German American Bund, a group of Americans of German descent who are encouraged to be loyal to Germany over the U.S. Francis Lederer plays a money-hungry spy who will eventually be turned by FBI agent Edward Bernard(played by E.G. Robinson) who is assigned the task of cleaning up the spy ring. George Sanders costars as a German officer in charge. Interesting film may be little more than propaganda itself, but remains a fascinating time capsule of its era.
