Heart wrenching but uplifting
by johnbmoore-172022-01-06
9/10

"This is a wonderful movie. The copy I saw was not good, but that did not detract from the emotional and realistic story. It provides, as much as anything can, what seems to be a legitimate sense of the desperation that these refugees must have felt as they were driven from their homes by the war around them. Exceptional story in a raw but effective production...."

💡 Did You Know?

The three leads were all real prisoners of war who had escaped to Switzerland, and were asked by the director Leopold Lindtberg to be in the film. Ewart G. Morrison (Maj. Telford) even wore the clothes he had escaped in as his costume.
