Nightmare (1942)
Director: Tim Whelan
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Based on a story by Philip MacDonald, a cheap but reasonably effective little Universal thriller, with gambler Donlevy stumbling across a murder, getting involved with a girl (of course), and finding himself up against Nazi agents. George Barnes' photography of a Hollywoodian London is nicely atmospheric, while Daniell is as marvellously sour and sinister as ever.Author: GA
