Description by OLDIES.com:
A visually striking film with unusual camera angles, lighting effects and dramatic close-ups worthy of early Hitchcock, Without Warning is truly a lost classic. As the tormented madman torn between his good and bad selves, Hungarian character actor Victor Varconi gives a performance that may be a career best. Born Mihály Várkony in 1891, he moved to the United States in 1924, where he quickly became a favorite of Cecil B. DeMille, who cast him in many of his silent-era epics, most notably as Pontius Pilate in The King of Kings (1927). Varconi's thick Hungarian accent made the transition to sound difficult, but with DeMille's continued patronage, he found a niche playing "ethnic" roles, including characters of French, Hispanic, or Germanic descent. Among these was a Spanish guerilla fighter in the classic For Whom The Bell Tolls (1943) with Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman. World War II saw him often cast as Nazis, as in John Farrow's The Hitler Gang (1944), in which he played Rudolph Hess. His last role was as a scientist in Alex Gordon's sci-fi feature The Atomic Submarine (1959). Newly unearthed and unseen since 1950s television airings, Without Warning casts new light on this underrated actor.
