January 31, 2012 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… -
It's most noted for being more sympathetic to peace loving German soldiers than are most American war films.

Litvak's intriguing account of U.S. Intelligence operation during the last year of WWII was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, boasting a good performance from the young Oskar Werner as a sensitive and naive German soldier-traitor.

The film manages to be suitably hard on the Nazi regime while providing one of the first sympathetic treatments of the German people.

Audience Reviews for Decision Before Dawn
-
Jul 25, 2013I would thought that the appetite for these types of films would have waned once the war ended but here we have another mainly propaganda type film that is mildly entertaining if not deep. Perhaps this was to rally the troops to get ready for Korea.John B Super Reviewer

Feb 05, 2009WWII drama about a group of German P.O.W.'s who were persuaded to spy for the allied war effort. Part docu-drama, part Hollywood propaganda. Entertaining but less than substantial.Randy T Super Reviewer

Jul 05, 2008A World War 2 spy movie that was nominated for Best Picture and forgotten immediately thereafter, and for mostly good reasons. In the name of full disclosure I'll admit that I was mostly distracted by other things when I was watching this. Similar to Rio Grande, I found that this had a very long build up and by the time they got to their actual mission I had sort of lost interest and started screwing around on my laptop while watching it.MJS M Super Reviewer
