i have not hear of the film until i saw it on the turner movie classic schedule . see the subject matter and the 1944 date excite me . the writer and director and cast would be play out the issue in real time and a the die be cast . i grow up in a household conflict with story and opinion of nazi germany . my mother be jewish . my father be german and raise by a father who support hitler . i have always be fascinate by german who seem to be good people who choose to ignore the eventual outcome of hitler madness and defend germany need for him . the character each have their unique perspective and reaction to emil a play masterfully by skip homeier . the desire to see only the good in a human be with no expectation that they be deal with a fully brainwash evil act thug be such an american trait . this movie be simply make and concentrate closely on the story and and it the story and the acting that be compel . i think you will enjoy it if you enjoy a good psychological study . my husband be disappoint with the end and i and however and be overjoy and cry . p. s. it be nice to see agnes moorehead in her role . i have never see her play such a normal person .
