TCM US today is showing a string of my favorite genre, Nazi spy films. The espionage is low rent noir, but the social message is often powerful, full of nuance, quirky characters. It's an odd combination of naive and sophisticated that I always find compelling.
All times EST
9:45 - Confessions of a Nazi spy- great cast including Edward G Robinson and George Sanders, about Nazis in the US . Made in 1939 at Warners. Jack Warner was the only studio head to blow off tge German market and straight out confront the Nazi threat.
11:45 - CASABLANCA
1:30 - BERLIN EXPRESS
3:00 MORTAL STORM - my favorite pairing of Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart, with Robert Young and Dan Daily (!) as young Nazis and a very touching performance by Frank Morgan as a Jewish Professor caught up in the maelstrom.
5:00 - Hitler's children- about the Nazi youth movement experienced by an American girl forced to join.
