5 Fingers (1952)
3/10
Keeps you on your toes
24 August 2020
I'm the first to admit that spy movies sometimes confuse me. If you absolutely love the genre and enjoy the mind-bending attention that must be paid, you've got to check out Five Fingers. James Mason stars as a valet to the German ambassador, but he mas much more ambition than just that. He portrays himself as devoted and humble, but he listens to everything and pays attention. On the side, he steals state secrets and sells them on the black market to the highest bidder!

I'm much more of a James Mason fan when he plays a good guy. He's rather villainous in this one, and (although this isn't everything) he sports an unflattering haircut, so while I was confused, I couldn't even console myself with eye candy. Costarring Danielle Darrieux and Michael Rennie, this is a drama that forces you to keep on your toes. If you nod off for a moment, you'll be lost. So pay attention! And find out just how far James's five fingers will go for money.
