The Stranger
The most deceitful man a woman ever loved!
The Story
A war-crimes investigator hunts a hidden Nazi architect to a sleepy Connecticut town.
Wilson trails his only lead, an obsession with clocks, to a respected prep-school teacher newly married to a justice's daughter. Posing as the mild Charles Rankin, the fugitive Franz Kindler kills to protect his secret, but a careless remark begins to give him away. Unable to prove his case, Wilson turns to the bride, showing her the truth of the camps to pry her loose from her husband. The chase climbs to a church clock tower and the spinning blade of its mechanical figures.
