Descending Angel Movie Review 1990

The premise is familiar: a swastika-friendly collaborator is forced out of the closet. But the cast and scripting make this cable there's-a-Nazi-in the-woodwork suspenser better than average, despite its flawed finale. Scott plays a well-respected Romanian refugee--active in the community, in the church, and in Romanian-American activities--whose daughter's fiance (Roberts) suspects him of Nazi collusion.
