- QuizDue to military intelligence and secrecy reasons, Hollywood film studios were prevented by the U.S. government from mentioning the OSS (the Office of Strategic Services) in movies during World War II. However, this movie was first released in September 1946, which was after the end of World War II, hence explaining why the OSS was mentioned in this movie.
- BlooperEstablishing footage of Switzerland goes back to about 1920, based on the vintage women's fashions and automobiles briefly seen, even though it's supposed to be contemporary mid 1940's WWII era.
- Citazioni
Prof. Alvah Jesper: I am scared stiff. For the first time thousands of our fine scientists are working together, and to make what?... A bomb! But who was willing to finance before the war, to wipe out tuberculosis. And when are we going to be given a billion dollars to wipe out cancer? I tell you we could do it in one year!

Recensione in evidenza
Fritz Lang is the director behind this fun wartime thriller, in which US academic Gary Cooper is sent to Switzerland to track down a nuclear scientist who's been coerced into working for the Germans. His goal is to prevent the Germans and the Italians from getting their hands on the methods to build a nuclear bomb, to which end he must work with the Italian resistance and combat many enemies along the way.
This is a lively little picture for the most part, not dissimilar to a Hitchcock film like FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT. It's all propaganda of course, but that's no bad thing when you have an assured hand like Lang at the helm. The main thing that prevents CLOAK AND DAGGER from being a classic is a stodgy and extremely dull romantic sub-plot in which Cooper falls in love with one of his allies. This drags the story down in the second half and it only comes to life again for the climax.
Still, it is a film worth watching, not least for some truly impressive and ahead of their time fight scenes. Lang shoots these fights in a shockingly brutal way for the 1940s, all below the belt hits and attempts to gouge and murder the rival fighter. They're good enough to stand up with the best of modern cinema, so it's just a shame that the rest of the production couldn't match this type of pace and excitement consistently.
