Minor Lang because its whimsical plot, but with nice touches, when good Milland confronts its justified paranoia. The nightmarish plot turning patriotic war effort is predcitable but can´t expect anything else for a 1944 film.

Description: Suffused with dread and paranoia, this Fritz Lang adaptation of a novel by Graham Greene is a plunge into the eerie shadows of a world turned upside down by war. En route to London after being released from a mental institution, Stephen Neale (Ray Milland) stops at a seemingly innocent village fair, after which he finds himself caught in the web of a sinister underworld with possible Nazi connections. Lang was among the most illustrious of the European émigré filmmakers working in Hollywood during World War II, and Ministry of Fear is one of his finest American productions, an unpredictable thriller with style to spare. ~ Crit ...

"First viewing - April 21st I finished my Saturday marathon with Fritz Lang's Ministry of Fear, a solid thriller that I'd picked up while browsing the library's Criterion section. I was very engaged with it (far more so than the film above), and I liked the characters well enough. The plot even had some surprises for me, or maybe I just was too busy enjoying the way it played out to figure out where it was headed. I doubt that I'd go out of my way to watch it again, but I wouldn't mind revisitin"
