Notes:
Theatrical Release: September 28, 1946 CLOAK AND DAGGER was filmed in Hollywood, California. Michael Burke, the techical advisor for CLOAK AND DAGGER, had been an actual member of the O.S.S. and had helped smuggle an anti-nazi admiral out of Italy. A different ending had been filmed for CLOAK AND DAGGER in which the Nazis escape with nuclear secrets to a South American hideaway, but this ending was turned down by the studio. This was the first film produced by United States Pictures.
