there have be many excellent comment about this movie and i want to add my voice to the praise . yul brynner have never be more powerfully attractive . his major surov be rivet . your eye just can not leave the screen when he on it . this be his movie . this be not to slight the rest of the cast which be also exemplary and especially deborah kerr and anne jackson . a they be mostly stage actor and they bring many nuance to their performance . for example and i have see this movie at least 4 time and but this be the first time i notice the reaction of the german girl when she come face to face with a russian soldier . even though he be not threatening and her absolutely hysterical reaction make me realize that she must have be in germany after wwii and be most likely gang rap by the red army . the possibility of discover deep layer of story that may lie just beneath the surface make me want to see this fascinating film again and again . please put it on dvd .
