'Man at Large' follows an enthusiastic reporter (Majorie Weaver) who runs into trouble when she meets a mischievous, to her eyes, FBI agent (George Reeves) who is currently trying to capture an escaped Nazi. Throughout the film, there is a likeable chemistry between Weaver and Reeves- building along as they encounter each other and eventually end up working together to capture the villain. This is somewhat similar to a Hitchcock movie; in which a character who starts off as a completely normal person is thrown into a world of danger and fear. Of course, this is much less serious than Hitchcock considering it's comedic value- yet the similarities do appear in terms of Majorie Weaver's character. The final 20 minutes of the film are quite enjoyable, the protagonists go under disguise in a club occupied by Nazis (Majorie looks amazing!)
The last encounter, an intense duel which I found to be quite intriguing and unique! Satisfying ending, I highly recommend to any 40s B movie fan.
