Synopsis 1:

Our heroine is a kindly old lady with no money, so she turns down a pension.

 Instead she ekes out a modest living by counterfeiting one-dollar bills. 

She never makes more than she absolutely needs (actually less than a

government pension would pay) and her only extravagance is a yearly party

 for the neighborhood children. The U. S. Secret Service considers the

 counterfeiter more of a nuisance than a crook, and all but one persistent

investigator have finally given up the chase. [JB]

Synopsis 2:
An eccentric widow turns to her printing whenever she is in need of cash and

for years her blithe counterfeiting has been the bane of the Secret Service. [RF]

Narration at the beginning (Narrator unknown):

"This story deals with the Paratroop Unit of the United States Forest

Rangers, a few years ago when the service was new."

*

Dean Jagger narration:

"It is in all these vast areas that the United States Forest Service

stands guard against Man's carelessness and Nature's destroyer fire.

Thunderstorms like this carry life and death. Rain to build giant trees

and fire to destroy them. Fire that burns so hot it races across tree

tops, its called a Crowning Fire, that desolates hundreds of miles. But

no matter where the smoke rises our trained firefighters hit the trail.

On foot, packing on horses or by truck. Where there is no road, they

hit the silk for man regardless of the deadly person on this, always jumps

in to defend his birthright, the land and its product. The Paratroop Core

has earned its right to existence, but it takes a lot of hard training

and steel nerves to develop a Smoke Jumper." [RF]
Synopsis 1:

Only the leader of a firefighter unit survives a forest fire and is accused

of saving himself at his men's expense. A group of death defying firefighters

combat forest fires by parachuting into it when they become trapped one of

 the men accuses him of being a coward. [RF]

Synopsis 2:

 The brother of a man who died battling a fierce forest fire, accuses the

 forest ranger foreman of cowardly leadership. The foreman was the only

man of the group to escape death. [JB]

 Synopsis 1:

 A handsome employee of the British Embassy in Ankara, Turkey, sells

   information to the Nazis. His plans for amassing a fortune are given

  impetus by the beautiful Countess Staviska. [JB]

Synopsis 2:

Based on the true story of a World War II spy with access to top secret

information in the British embassy in Turkey, this episode follows the

brief but bright career of an English valet, code-named Cicero, who

seized his chance to sell expensive secrets to the Germans, including

details about D-Day's Operation Overlord. The Nazi government, the

British ambassador, and a Polish countess all dance on strings even as

British counteragents close in. [RF]
*

Director-writer Joseph L. Mankiewicz was nominated for Oscars for Best

Director and Best Screenplay for his handiwork. FIVE FINGERS was based

on the book OPERATION CICERO, by L.C. Moyzisch, the military attaché at

the German embassy in Ankara, Turkey, who had dealings with the infamous spy.

*

The five fingers stand for lust, greed, passion, desire, and sin.

In the finest tradition of war intrigue films such as CASABLANCA, FIVE

FINGERS is woven with patriotism, passion, war weariness, and greed,

spearheaded by a magnificent performance by Mason as the tightly

controlled valet who maintains his cool and ambition even in the face

of his deteriorating plans. [RF]
