The Cavern (1964)
A group of people trapped in a cavern by an accident of war.

Warning: Spoilers
Contains spoiler The cavern was known to authorities and stocked with provisions, including batteries. The members of the party included a German officer, an American GI, an Italian woman and several others. The German becomes part of their group and finds a way out but is shot by Americans as he gets out of the cave and he falls back into the cave and dies without being able to reveal the exit. He is not found after his death. That was the only thing I found odd about the movie in that his body would begin to smell and they should have been able to find him.

The major premise of the movie is that people have to get along with each other regardless of their "sides." Peter Marshall dies in an attempt to escape via the stream that runs through the cave. It was an absorbing story which I found fascinating. It was kinda offbeat as well.
