Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre make a wonderful team in this exhilarating and atmospheric noir that Daily Variety hailed as "one of the most brilliant crime dramas ever filmed." When the body of Dimitrios Makropoulos (Zachary Scott) washes up in Istanbul, there is cause for celebration across Europe. The devious sociopath left a legacy of crimes, including blackmail, theft, murder and high treason. Interested in chronicling the dead man's unscrupulous exploits, crime writer Cornelius Leyden (Lorre) follows his trail, aided by a mysterious man named Peters (Greenstreet). But as Leyden discovers the truth about Dimitrios, he discovers that his new associate has an ulterior motive in helping him – with Leyden as his unwitting accomplice! As suspenseful and captivating as the Eric Ambler novel on which it is based, The Mask of Dimitrios is "an exceptional picture" (Los Angeles Times) that provides non-stop, thrilling excitement!
Directed by Jean Negulesco
With Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Zachary Scott
