Tainted (1946)

Around midnight at the orphanage..In the corridors of the house,in the darkest night ,up comes a man.Who is this man? For the headmaster,it's the second coming!The messiah. He'd always told him he would come back some day.He was the pride of the orphanage ,a former pupil who became a celebrated lawyer.There's in the house a place dedicated to him,with his pictures,flowers,decorations...It looks like an oratory. But the hero is not the one you think he is;the Police are hot on his heels,and he is looking for a refuge. For the headmaster,it would be terrible ,unthinkable, to tell his pupils the man they admire is a criminal.
