This earlier outing by Negulescu &#8212; based on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Mask_of_Dimitrios_(novel)\">a novel by Eric Ambler<\/a> &#8212; is another atmospheric, unusual flick, notable for allowing Lorre to play a non-creepy guy for once. The flashback-filled, cross-continental narrative weaves a complex tale of betrayal and vengeance, one which accurately portrays the wary mood of this war-time era; as DVD Savant writes in his review, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s4180mask.html\">&#8220;everybody looks potentially suspicious but nobody is immediately identifiable as a conspirator.&#8221;<\/a> A major identity-based plot twist shifts everything into a different gear later on, and the ending is quite satisfying. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Atmospheric cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography4.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography4-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography4-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography3.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography3-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography3-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography2.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography2-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mask-of-Dimitrios-Cinematography2-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, once, as an unusual and atmospherically filmed outing. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Good Show<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0037055\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/83036\/the-mask-of-dimitrios#articles-reviews?articleId=59891\">TCM Article<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.com\/movies\/the-mask-of-dimitrios\/review\/105772\/\">TV Guide Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/reviews\/61242\/mask-of-dimitrios-the\/\">DVD Talk Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thespinningimage.co.uk\/cultfilms\/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=4447&#038;aff=13\">Spinning Image Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s4180mask.html\">DVD Savant Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Ingenuity is never a substitute for intelligence.&#8221; Synopsis: A Dutch mystery writer (Peter Lorre) travelling in Istanbul meets a local policeman (Kurt Hatch) who tells him the story of Dimitrios Makropolous (Zachary Scott), a now-deceased criminal who betrayed many.
