Cloak and Dagger 4K 1984

Richard Franklin made this film already famous as a convinced follower of Alfred Hitchcock. For example, he directed 'Psycho 2' with the legendary Anthony Perkins and Vera Miles.

In 'Cloak and Dagger' Franklin continues to develop major Hitchcock themes. This time, Franklin's attention is drawn to the spy theme. But he makes, not just a 'neo-Hitchcockian' spy movie.

Franklin makes a movie for children: a boy, obsessed with spy games, becomes an accidental witness to a murder. Of course, there's a spy plot behind it all. Of course, no one believes him.

Starring the star of Spielberg's 'E.T.' is Henry Thomas. And his father was played at a very decent level by Dabney Coleman.

The result is a very pleasant genre variation on the theme of 'Children and Spies', however, not exceeding the limits of entertaining cinema.
