Cloak and Dagger (1946 film)

Cloak and Dagger is a 1946 film directed by Fritz Lang, starring Gary Cooper. LikeRue Madeleine, it is a tribute to Office of Strategic Services OSS operations in occupied Europe during World War II. The title is based on the 1946 non fiction book Cloak and Dagger The Secret Story of O.S.S. by Corey Ford and Alastair MacBain. Former OSS agent E. Michael Burke acted as technical advisor.

Ironically, screenplay writers Lardner and Maltz became two of the Hollywood Ten, accused of adding communist dogma to movie scripts such as this one. Writing a script saying the US could not keep nuclear secrets from the USSR, such as in this film, was just one of many accusations against the Ten. ........
