Escape in the Fog (1945)

Directed by Budd Boetticher

Boetticher was never too sentimental about the programmers he churned out at Columbia when he was starting out: “They were nothing pictures. But they gave me a chance to work with some great people: Nina Foch, Otto Krueger, people like that.” Here, Boetticher works with both Foch and Krueger in a tight war-time programmer about a San Francisco spy ring with a supernatural twist.
