Movie Info
When seven German prisoners in a Nazi concentration camp manage to escape, the Gestapo embarks on a mission to recapture and crucify all of the fugitives. Only George Heisler (Spencer Tracy) manages to elude the persistent Nazis, but he is met with indifference or hostility in his efforts to hide. Fortunately, he runs across the kind Madame Marelli (Agnes Moorehead) and family man Paul Roeder (Hume Cronyn), and with their help, he mounts a desperate bid for permanent freedom.

Jun 07, 2021Spencer Tracy gives a taut performance as a German guy, early in the Nazi takeover, who struggles to understand just how much his country has changed. On the run after escaping from a concentration camp he has to try to get out of the country or be killed and is only a little surprised to discover that few of his old friends will dare help him. The real picture though is not about Tracy's character but rather about those old friends who do dare to try to help him, risking their jobs, their lives, and the lives of their families, and how they each embrace the gut-wrenching decision to "do the right thing". A surprising message in a bottle from the past with something to say about modern times. .Kevin M. W Super Reviewer
