Manhunt by Fritz Lang 1941

Fritz Lang used Geoffrey Householder's (really fun) novel 'Rogue Male' to make this film.

This is such a great film to watch - an English big-game hunter tracks Hitler to see whether he might be able to kill the 'ultimate' animal.  The film is set just before the world begins to fully realize what a monster Hitler is.

What I liked about this film and novel is that the hero is a member of the upper class who has not been taught how to be a real moral actor in the world. Everything to members of his social class is a 'game'. So although he knows Hitler is evil, his attempt to kill Hitler is not completely serious and therefore he fails.

Throughout the film he develops a true moral character and becomes capable of entering the war against Hitler.

Walter Pidgeon does a great job of acting in this film.
