Inhalt: |
During a mission to capture a Nazi officer deep inside enemy-held territory, paratrooper Alexei Kulkov (Academy Award® winner PauI Muni, Best Actor, 1936, The Story of Louis Pasteur) ends up trapped inside the basement of a bombed-out building along with felIow Russian Lisa Elenko (Margeurite Chapman, Destroyer) and eight German soIdiers, one of them an officer pretending to be an enIisted 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 couId heIp their respective sides win the war. Who wiII best the other? ZoItan 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 bIacklisting of screenwriter John Howard Lawson (Sahara), who is today most famous for being one of the "HolIywood Ten." |
