The picture captures the true feeling of the war and the heroic attempt of a few people to contribute to the destruction of a dictatorship.
The line " you can read about a hundred atrocities, hear about a thousand, but you only have to see one" will always stay with me.
I wonder why Eric Erickson has not been mentioned in history as a hero of World War Two? He was very similar to Oscar Shindler. I would hope that the real story of Eric Erickson is told some day.
Lilli Palmer was wonderful and injected the reality of the war inside Germany throughout the picture. She was the most believable of all the characters. The scenes in the prison and her character's death were very realistic and left you with how helpless they were under the Nazi regime.
Next to " The Bridge On The River Kwai" this is William Holden's best picture.
