"I just saw this for the first time on TCM and found it fascinating. It's one of the few movies made during WWII that distinguishes between ordinary German citizens and Nazis. There's very little overt wartime propaganda, until the end (which has a small surprise twist). Although made with a so-called "B" cast, it's every bit as engaging as Grand Hotel. A shame it's not on VHS or DVD, but surely TCM will be showing it again...."
💡 Did You Know?
The novel upon which this film is based was published in 1944, and was considered a "sequel" to the same author's earlier novel, which had served as the basis for the 1932 Best Picture Oscar® winner, Grand Hotel (1932). Production took place from late 1944 into early 1945, with the screenplay being continually revised to remain up-to-date on the fast-moving events of the final year of World War II into account. The movie's opening states it is Berlin, Germany 1945.
