Government shenanigans

Many of us are too young to remember the McCarthy era, but that doesn't mean we should not be aware of it because many of the actions occurring during that time have been going on the last seven years.

Kelly McGillis, who did a great job in Witness with Harrison Ford, is Emily, a woman caught up in the witch hunt that occurred during that era. Quite by accident, she stumbles on a plot by these same people in power to smuggle Nazi war criminals into the country, using the names of dead Jews, if you can believe that.

Mandy Patinkin plays a great evildoer in the government, and he even looks like the former President that made his reputation during this time.

Jeff Daniels (The Squid and the Whale , Good Night and Good Luck) is very good a a farm-boy turned FBI agent who falls for Emily and helps her uncover the plot.

In the absence of CGI and FX, it was great acting that really made this an enjoyable movie.

Quiz
During the scene in the used book store while Emily is talking to Stefan, on the shelf behind her one can clearly identify three volumes of Negley Farson's autobiography "The Way of a Transgressor". Farson, after having been expelled from Andover, became a foreign correspondent and actually met Hitler in person.

Citazioni
Emily: We're oil and water, Cochran.
Cochran: Not last night we weren't.

Curiosità sui crediti
After the usual "all incidents are fictional" disclaimer, it states "In particular, the producers do not intend to imply that Life Magazine dismissed any of its employees for their political beliefs or activities. The producers appreciate that Life Magazine recognizes the right of its employees to pursue their own political choices."
