Oh by the way a very young and quite drunken Sean Connery makes an appearance in this.
Well it is a nice piece of anti-fascist drama, but the lead Van Johnson was more interested in getting off wisecracks than acting the part.
The supporting cast does wonderfully, and the choice of filming in color was a good one, it looks great.
The second half picks up when Herbert Lom shows up, and the director let him let his freak flag fly as an old world warlord out for the glory he was denied when the Nazis took his world away. He plays it as both the local hero and the villain.
A few twists near the end make it worth suffering Johnson’s bad dialog and hammy John Wayne shtick.
Martine Carol looks stunning and plays her part as the pre-women’s lib heroine just trying to get through the nightmare the Germans have made of her life and her people. She somehow manages to fend off all the male attention she does not want, but most of that is plot armor for the 50s. The actual romance part is just a meander from the adventure story, and good thing, the chemistry is not there.
The plot goes from save my husband who is prisoner of the Nazis to save the orphans and the blind poet and save yourselves and finally to defeat the fascists wherever they are, so that’s a bit of a runaround but not a bad message. Any film that advocates killing Nazis is fine in my book.
