Ray Milland plays an American serviceman who is behind Nazi lines and is trying to make his way back to England. It's odd that they didn't just make him a British serviceman considering he was Welsh in real life. Regardless, he's assisted by some nuns. But after the evil Nazis murder the Reverend Mother at the convent, he and a young (and hot looking) nun run away and try to make contact with the underground...all the while, Germans are practically nipping at their heels.
This is a most unusual wartime picture, as it presents a romance, of sorts, between a soldier and a nun...though it never really develops. I assume it is because the filmmakers worried about how the public would accept such a romance. And the ending...well it is downbeat but also keeps the film from being a typical propaganda film with cardboard Nazis. Well worth seeing.
