Ministry of Fear (Criterion Collection) (Blu-ray)

Suffused with dread and paranoia, this Fritz Lang (M) adaptation of a novel by Graham Greene (THE THIRD MAN) 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 (THE LOST WEEKEND'S 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.
