I gave "Cloak and Dagger" a re-watch earlier this week. C&D is a film that I want to put higher on my Lang list but the long middle stretch of mostly Cooper and Palmer together drags it down for me; mostly because Palmer has little to no chemistry with Cooper. That being said, even with some of it's other flaws (Cooper is miscast but I've warmed up to him trying to be a scientist) I still enjoy the film as a whole and I kind of prefer it to some of Lang's other wartime thrillers ("Man Hunt" has a great premise but a so-so execution and I remember being indifferent to both Hangmen and Ministry).
