the only reason i give this movie an positive be because there be few movie and in my opinion and that be perfect . this little b picture be a taut story and well told . i have always be intrigue by alexander knox and but have see him very few movie . here he play wilhelm grimm and a sad little man who turn into a monster . he betray everything and everybody without an ounce of remorse . the performance be one of the most chilling performance i have ever see . since world war 2 and actor who play nazi or other evil type in film have occasionally be nominate for oscar . i imagine that since this be make during the war and the academy felt like honor a performance like this would have be like honor evil . but knox put in that kind of performance a man so bitter and consume by guilt that he think nothing of make others suffer . i still can not get over it . marsha hunt and who usually play the filbert gibbet or social butterfly and be cast against type in probably the best performance i have ever see her give and too . maybe not oscar worthy and but the best of her career . nothing against her while i have enjoy her in those slight role she often play . but here she prove she up to the task of heavy drama . if you like human drama story and or story about the fate of those who suffer at the hand of the nazi and i highly recommend this fine little film .
