7/10
decent overlooked WWII flick
12 July 1999
A pretty engrossing film based on a real character and true events. Holden is excellent, as is Lilli Palmer. A somewhat slow start, but picks up fairly quickly. The ending takes a tad long to unwind. Technicolor is so superior to the color techniques used today; the movie is great to look at. Also, a good portrayal of the atmosphere of life in totalitarian Germany. Thank you, American Movie Classics for showing us this one.
