	Hangmen Also Die - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hangmen Also Die was a 1943 film directed by the legendary German director Fritz Lang with a script by Bertolt Brecht and John Wexley.
		Hangmen Also Die (1943) is the story of Heydrich's assassination in fictionalized form.
		It was Bertolt Brecht's only script for a Hollywood film: the money he earned from the project allowed him to write "The Visions of Simone Marchand, "Švejk in the Second World War" and an adaptation of Webster's "The Duchess of Malfi."

		"Hangmen Also Die" (1943) is the only Hollywood screen credit of Bertholt Brecht (whose plays and stories have been the basis of many movies, the most notable of which is G. Pabst's film of "Threepenny Opera.").
		According to film historian Lotte Eisner and the film's director, Fritz Lang, the screenplay was Brecht's, though the credit was for the screenplay went to the American screenwriter (and WGA member) John Wexley.
		Rather than being a noire, "Hangmen Also Die" is World War II propaganda defending terrorism within occupied Europe.

	Hangmen Also Die (1943)
		Fritz Lang's Hangmen Also Die is an underrated film noir (fictionalized) telling of the 1942 assassination of Reinhard Heydrich (Hans Heinrich von Twardowski), a Nazi hangman.
		The killing is the work of members of the Czech resistance movement; Dr. Franticek Svoboda (Brian Donlevy) shoots Heydrich and Nasha Novotny (Anna Lee), a young woman who was out buying vegetables for her family's dinner, sees him.
		The image quality also suffers from bad shadow detail, an important element in a film that’s action sequences take place in the dark.

	Savant Review: Hangmen Also Die!
		His Quisling role here is a tough one and he's terrific at it, beautifully sustaining surprise and shock through Hangmen Also Die's complicated resolution.
		The movie was issued by United Artists in 1943 but has long since changed hands; the absent scenes may have been jettisoned soon after release, and for obvious reasons.
		Hangmen Also Die is a major find, and not only for Fritz Lang cinemaphiles.

	Hangmen Also Die! Movie: Hangmen Also Die! DVD is available from Bestprices.com
		Fritz Lang's HANGMEN ALSO DIE is a grimly atmospheric noir thriller and a vehement commentary on Nazi terror and betrayal.
		Loosely based on a true story, Lang's film is a terse and melodramatic portrait of mass resistance and Nazi brutality.
		From the assassination scene--reminiscent of TOUCH OF EVIL--in which Franz Svoboda (Brian Donlevy) gets help from the underground resistance in order to narrowly escape being captured by the Nazis, to the heart-wrenching and suspenseful showdowns between the resistance and the Nazis, HANGMEN ALSO DIE is tightly structured and elegantly filmed masterpiece.

		To further confuse matters, Lang also made a supernatural fantasy in France in 1934 (Liliom), a two-part adventure film in India in 1959 (The Tiger of Eschanpur/The Indian Tomb) and a crime thriller in Germany in 1960 (The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse).
		Add to this confusion the fact that these last two films were, respectively, a remake of and a sequel to popular genre films Lang made in Germany before fleeing, and even the neat split between Lang the serious German artist and Lang the commercial Hollywood craftsman quickly falls apart.
		The upcoming retrospective offers viewers the chance to put Lang's claims to the test and decide for themselves whether his back catalogue of neglected works and obscure potboilers deserves to be accorded at least some of the respect granted to Metropolis, M and his recognized noir classics.

		But I did get to see the one picture Brecht worked on during his disastrous sojourn in Hollywood, the 1943 Hangmen Also Die (February 13), which was directed by Brecht's fellow refugee from Hitler, Fritz Lang.
		Hangmen Also Die is based on a story by Brecht and Lang, but the only Brechtian element in it is its pedantry -- an imperfect rendering of the distinctive Brecht tone, of course, which always includes a strong measure of irony.
		The results, which are beyond description, certainly produce a peculiarly Hollywood form of alienation effect.

		Near the end of the Kino Video DVD of Hangmen Also Die, there's a telltale jumpcut that even the sharp-eyed Video Watchdog failed to detect (Tim Lucas, issue #45).
		Just as the evil Czech traitor Emil Czaka (an excellent Gene Lockhart) is dying a la James Cagney on the steps of a church at midnight, the film undergoes a ragged CUT to the airy SS office for a fast but unsatisfying ending.
		The problem is that the story arc of Hangmen Also Die has not been closed.

		The cast, topped by Brian Donlevy and Walter Brennan, is uniformly splendid, with the performances of Gene Lockhart, as a cowering Quisling Czech, and Alexander Granach, as a shrewd, calculating and ruthless inspector of the Geslapo, being particularly outstanding.
		Story continuity is fine and absorbing throughout, but essentially it's the incisive terms of the message propounded that sets Hangmen apart and points up fact that propaganda can be art.
		Saga of the courageous spirit of the Czechs starts with the assassination of Heydrich, the hangman, by an appointed member of the underground (Donlevy), but the plans for his escape go awry and, due to the stringent curfew laws, he is forced to spend the night at the home of a professor and his daughter.

	Hangmen Also Die \| The A.V. Club
		Made during the height of the Nazi occupation of the Czech Republic, Hangmen Also Die represents the only collaboration between a pair of brilliant German exiles: filmmaker Fritz Lang, who produced, directed, and co-wrote the story and screenplay adaptation, and acclaimed leftist playwright Bertolt Brecht, who shared story and adaptation credits with Lang.
		While Hangmen Also Die has been released as part of Kino's Film Noir series, it's not really a film noir at all: It's suffused with a sense of political idealism that would seem to be antithetical to the sort of gloomy fatalism that pervades most noirs.
		And while Hangmen Also Die can never again achieve the immediacy it no doubt held for audiences in 1943, it's still a fascinating, beautifully crafted film.

		The series plays fast-and-loose with its definition of film noir (for example, the spy intrigue of Hangmen Also Die owes little if anything to film noir), but all the movies in the series are worth checking out, regardless of whether or not they're true noir.
		But the simplicity of its moralizing is also part of the charm of The Naked City: the movie asks you to completely give yourself to the promise of detective work and deduction.
		And the simplicity of this world is as seductive as the marvelous images captured by Daniels' camera.
