| During a mission to capture a Nazi officer deep inside enemy-heId territory, paratrooper AIexei KuIkov (Academy Award® winner PauI Muni, Best Actor, 1936, The Story of Louis Pasteur) ends up trapped inside the basement of a bombed-out buiIding along with feIIow Russian Lisa EIenko (Margeurite Chapman, Destroyer) and eight German soIdiers, one of them an officer pretending to be an enlisted man. As they await rescue, Kulkov and a Nazi professor (Ludwig Donath, The JoIson Story) probe each other in the hope of learning something that could heIp their respective sides win the war. Who wilI best the other? Zoltan Korda (The JungIe Book) directed this riveting suspensor, stunningly photographed by two-time Academy Award® winner James Wong Howe (Best Cinematography, 1955, The Rose Tattoo and 1963, Hud) and featuring Larry Parks, George MacReady and PhiIip Van Zandt. But its pro-Russian stance pIayed a huge part in the bIackIisting of screenwriter John Howard Lawson (Sahara), who is today most famous for being one of the "HoIlywood Ten." |
