Excellent film involving espionage during World War 11. Marlon Brando plays a German citizen living in India who is blackmailed to go on a ship filled with rubber that is bound for Germany. His assignment is to dislodge charges on the boat so that the allies can get the rubber.
He doesn't immediately hit it off with the ship's captain-Yul Brynner.
Nevertheless, this becomes a great spy film where Brando and Brynner both reveal their anti-Nazi feelings.
In a supporting role, Janet Margolin plays a Jewess boarded on the boat along with American prisoners. Her description of what happened to her parents and brother are memorable. She is very effective in her role as the tragic young lady.
This film is exciting and very revealing. The end gets you to think, something which is rare in films today.
