Visiting in England, an American surgeon Doctor John Marlowe is decoyed to a middle European country, and discovers the operation he is to perform is on the Vosnian dictator. When the latter dies, he is replaced by a look-alike, but Marlowe then becomes the object of a shoot-to-kill, vicious pursuit by the secret police of Vosnia since it is vital to Vosnia that the dictator's death does not become known.

In a Balkan country, intelligence head Col. Galcon (Jack Hawkins) forces vacationing eminent American brain surgeon John Marlowe (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.). to treat the nation's leader, who is secretly suffering from a serious brain trauma. After Marlowe operates, the dictator initially recovers -- but when he abruptly dies, Marlowe finds his life in jeopardy. Desperate to escape, Marlowe's only hope for help rests with a ambiguous spy (Herbert Lom) and a cabaret singer (Glynis Johns).

STATE SECRET is a terrific, dark film noir starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. as John Marlowe, a doctor brought to an Eastern European country where he is forced to go on the run with showgirl Lisa (Glynis Johns) when he learns a secret that could bring down the government. He is pursued by commissar Galcon (Jack Hawkins) and a menacing thug (Herbert Lom). This tale of an innocent on the run is based on a novel by Roy Huggins, later the creator of THE FUGITIVE for television and the movies. To prevent political problems, the producers engaged a linguist from London University to create an artificial language for the actors. As Hawkins recalled, the language was grammatically impeccable, but almost unspeakable! Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat were a prolific British writer-director team whose work ranged from crackling spy thrillers like Hitchcock's THE LADY VANISHES (1938) to hilarious comedies like THE BELLES OF ST. TRINIAN'S (1954). Although one of their best, STATE SECRET is seldom seen in the United States. DIR/SCR/PROD Sidney Gilliat, from a novel by Roy Huggins; PROD Frank Launder. UK, 1950, b&w, 97 min. NOT RATED
