Moody, expressionistic, symbolic of paranoia, betrayal, guilt--these are the elements that mark director John Ford's The Informer (1935), his paean to an Ireland--the country of his parents' birth-torn asunder by political and martial war with Britain.
The year is 1922, and the Irish Rebellion is in full swing. In the strife-torn streets of Dublin, Gypo Nolan (Victor McLaglen), a poor, lumbering goliath, sees a wanted poster of his best friend, rebel Frankie McPhillip (Wallace Ford) that promises a hefty reward for information leading to Frankie's arrest. Broke, hungry, and longing for an escape to America, Gypo seeks out the British army and betrays his friend and comrade. After Frankie is killed in front of his mother and sister, Gypo collects his reward money and begins a long journey into a night filled with guilt, remorse, and ultimately, some kind of redemption, all with an Irish flavor.
