Cloak and Dagger is a pretty good WWII romantic thriller. It's a bit dated of course, but I enjoyed watching Gary Cooper do some karate chopping after getting recruited by the OSS. He's a nuclear scientist working on the Manhattan Project, but he gets a more important job.It's directed by Fritz Lang, who's famous for directing the influential silent film, Metropolis and also M and the Blue Gardinia.
It's a pretty snappy movie and it's more cloak than dagger. It's got Lilli Palmer, who I remember in Operation Crossbow with George Peppard, as Gina. She's way undercover and is having to kiss fat Nazis to do her job. She helps Gary smuggle out an important Italian nuclear scientist to slow down the Nazis from getting the BOMB!
