How can critics snub this great movie? Maybe they didn't want to be associated with empathy for the Germans in 1948. Maybe they were nervous about showing politicians for what they are. Maybe they just don't like Marlene.
This is one of the best movies of all time. Great acting. Great story. Great production. And of course, great direction. The use of songs and music throughout the picture that hold together with the story is marvelous. So many great funny lines.
I don't know why John Lund didn't find more work in comedy. He demonstrated how good he is in this one.
Love this film back when and now.
