Robert Florey’s Dangerously They Live
(1942, 77 min)
First-ever screening at Retro!
John Garfield battles Nazi spies headed by menacing Raymond Massey in this exciting wartime thriller! Garfield plays a medical doctor thrust into a netherworld of espionage when a beautiful British agent (Nancy Coleman) is wheeled into his ambulance after a car crash. She reveals her identity to him and – although skeptical – he obliges and soon realizes they are being hunted by ruthless Nazis! Fast-paced and ominous, Dangerously They Live was also timely: it premiered just 17 days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
