The Stranger (US, 1946)

Noirish piece in which a holocaust architect living under an assumed identity in Massachussetts is pursued by the Allied War Crimes Tribunal.

Orson Welles is memorable as always - particularly the dinnertable speech - but it's not in the same league as The Lady from Shanghai or The Third Man.

A reasonably good quality video can be seen on www.archive.org.
