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 Philip Van Zandt.
