5 Fingers (1952) – DVD | James Mason | Cold War Spy Thriller
The most audacious spy of World War II — and he was real. Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and starring the suave and magnetic James Mason, 5 Fingers is a brilliantly crafted 1952 Cold War spy thriller based on the true story of Operation Cicero — in which a valet at the British Embassy in Ankara sold top-secret Allied documents to the Nazis, and nearly got away with it.
Tense, witty, and impeccably acted, 5 Fingers earned two Academy Award nominations including Best Director and Best Screenplay. A rare and sophisticated collectible DVD for fans of James Mason, classic espionage cinema, and golden age Hollywood thrillers.
