Robinson is a Nazi hunter. They updated Return of Martin G. as Sommersby (sp?) with Richard Gere and Jodie Foster. Thanks Judith. I am glad you mentioned THE STRANGER (1946). It crossed my mind earlier but then I forgot to include it in a subsequent post. In a way this film is about two strangers who shake things up in town. Professor Rankin a.k.a. Franz Kindler (Orson Welles) is a stranger to the community and very much a stranger to his wife (Loretta Young). Then we have the investigator Wilson (Edward G. Robinson) who is just as much a stranger in these parts, out to nab Kindler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
