Synopsis
Starring Eddie Albert (Oklahoma!, The Joker is Wild), Paul Massie (The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll),
James Robertson Justice (The Face of Fu Manchu), and Lillian Gish (Intolerance), Orders to Kill is a
bruising, brilliant wartime espionage drama.
Based on a story by real-life spy Donald Downes, and co-scripted by another former spy, Paul
Dehn (The Deadly Affair, Fragment of Fear), Anthony Asquith’s film follows an American airman
sent into occupied France with orders to kill a suspected double agent… but the mission does not
go according to plan.
Famous for its shocking violence and moral ambiguity, Orders to Kill won three BAFTA Awards, but
caused a stir at the Cannes Film Festival due to its alleged ‘anti-American’ tone.
