Review

noteworthy more because of what it’s about, and when it came out, than because of any artistic or technical achievements. it’s about the underground movement in germany during the height of the nazi reign. the story finds two brothers (one a wounded soldier, the other an underground rebel) pitted against each other as symbols of their respective philosophies. of course it wouldn’t be a movie without a woman in the mix, and her role is to make the nazi brother realize the err of his ways. it’s a fairly entertaining flick with some battle of algiers type elements.
