Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

mformoviesandmore In the first part of the movie we see Holden taking centre stage and his dry calm manner is a superb way of showing the true horrors of war - caused by normal men involved in horrendous events in a normal way.The pacing is masterful and the actions and plot are very believable.Unfortunately the movie unravels as it runs and becomes a soppy run-of- the-mill escape film with the usual characters and poorly delivered performancesI would give the first part of the film an 8 and the last third or so a 6 so it earns a seven from me. It is a pity that the team didn't maintain the level they started with and produce a masterpiece.

dhitman The picture captures the true feeling of the war and the heroic attempt of a few people to contribute to the destruction of a dictatorship.The line " you can read about a hundred atrocities, hear about a thousand, but you only have to see one" will always stay with me.I wonder why Eric Erickson has not been mentioned in history as a hero of World War Two? He was very similar to Oscar Shindler. I would hope that the real story of Eric Erickson is told some day. Lilli Palmer was wonderful and injected the reality of the war inside Germany throughout the picture. She was the most believable of all the characters. The scenes in the prison and her character's death were very realistic and left you with how helpless they were under the Nazi regime.Next to " The Bridge On The River Kwai" this is William Holden's best picture.

Bluetrain67 I never tire of watching this great WWII spy/romance film. In my opinion, it is the single greatest World War II spy film ever made. It truly captures the danger, uneasiness, and on-the-edge drama of the life of a spy. William Holden is brilliant as Eric Erickson, the reluctant spy, and his story totally captivates us. It makes one wonder how many other stories like this one occurred during the war. The scene where the character of Hans Holtz (young Nazi boy who wants to turn Erickson in to the authorities) is truly riveting. When the film is over you wish there were more. If anyone can tell me the titles of any similar films, I would appreciate it. William Holden has to be the greatest actor of his generation!

Hilldoc Well made with good elements of suspense and done before spy movie characters became stereotypes and devices such as cyanide pills became cliches. There are several good performances, including Holden at his grim best and a very good cameo by Klaus Kinski who plays a refugee Jew dying of fever. I thought he looked familiar but I couldn't place him until I saw the credits on IMDB. The boy who played the Hitler Youth member was also very convincing. The locations gave a nice sense of authenticity and the escape scene through Copenhagen traffic was very moving.
