I stumbled onto "Decision before Dawn" on cable the other day and was amazed at how great a film it is. The plot is excellent and it plays out a lot like a modern film even though it is from 1951. The acting is superb and the story is deep. I love the realism in this film , the ruins of Germany were used as the set for the film and weapons and equipment is are authentic WW2 stock. I can not believe this gem is not available on DVD let alone VHS. I found a DVD on the internet that was made from digital cable and was glad to purchase it. "Decision before Dawn" is a great espionage-spy film with the war as a backdrop that is undiscovered by the mainstream film goer (hence the 182 votes on this site). Watch this film and you will not be disappointed. 10 stars of 10.
