Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Stranger (1946)

Orson Welles is a Nazi on the run from the War Crimes Commission, hiding in a small Connecticut town. He's been accepted by the town as a teacher at the local boys' school and as the new husband of a supreme court judge's daughter (the always lovely Loretta Young). Problem is, an investigator has tracked him down and just needs proof.

It's a tense little noir with its only drawback being the lack of finesse with which the Nazi attempts his escape.
