This scheme could be seen as a modern topic, concerning terrorism and the elements that may push some people to get involved in this way. See for yourself, this young woman who seeks revenge against the death of her father because of a dictator, but who suddenly realizes that the revenge is maybe not the best soluton, because this very vengeance will itelf bring death, pain for innocent people. You can feel some ambivalent things about this story, you may find it naive, too much didactic. I think it is very difficult to analyze but it remains interesting to watch, and the photography is purely awesome. Thorold Dickinson was a very good British director in the forties and early fifties, remember his version of GASLIGHT.
