Maids Night Out
BY RAYMER
"FiVE FINGERS" at The SAN
CARLOS THEATRE.

CARLOS THEATRE.
Photographed for the most part
in Turkey and Great Britain, the
story is just as authentic as its
background scenery. Give Fin
gers" should not be confused with
the old movie ''The Beast with
Five Fingers" which was thrill
er of the horror story kind. This
one is still in the thriller class, but
is also first class, top spy yarn
about one of the strangest spies
of World War II. The man is still
alive, by the by.
James Mason does a superb job
of playing the tight-lipped, quiet,
unassuming valet to a British en-
bassy chief in Turkey. He has one
supreme talent. He can open any
safe with the magic touch of his
five fingers. He utilizes this abili-
ty to obtain the top secret papers,
photograph them and peddle the
microfilm to the enemy.
After collecting a considerable
sum, he has one object in mind,
a shapely blonde object, to wit:
a countess, enacted with svelte
charm by Danielle Darrieux. The
name Of the veteran actor who
plays Won Papen with a smooth.
ness that steals the show when
ever he appears, escapes my
memory. Anyway, he has Won Pa
pens mannerisms down pat, as
anyone who has seen the real
German nobleman in newsreels
will recall. Michael Rennie looks
the part of the hawfaced, eagle
eyed British counter spy, COM
plete with baggy tweeds, floppy
trench-coat and snap brim hat.
at least that's what is expected OF
an intelligence agent cinema ver-
sion. Actually, they are usually I'M
obstrusive looking.
The suspense element is sustain
ed as you watch the valet extract
the secrets from the safe and then
contact the enemy buyers who are
ready to kill him when his USE
fulness is at an end. The German
officials in Turkey are exceptional
ly well done as character studies.
In fact, the documentary film is
one of the best of its kind. There's
sensational surprise ending. Try
to see the story from its beginning
so as not to lose the thread or
spoil the exciting sequence.
