I’ll confess that watching films depicting the horrors of Nazi Germany is a guilty pleasure of mine—and sadly, recent political developments in the United States make me feel like those kinds of ideologies haven't completely disappeared. Luckily, being born when I was, in the late 60s, meant I didn’t have to live through such terror directly, but it’s still captivating to witness, via film, examples of that kind of fascist mindset put into action (some of my favorites in this area are quite divisive films, like 'Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom', 'The Night Porter' and 'Dr. Strangelove'). I honestly don’t know how I would have reacted if I had been caught up in either side—whether as a German citizen expected to follow orders, or as someone imprisoned in a concentration camp. I am just grateful that I never faced those terrible circumstances. This film turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable. Despite the lack of big-name actors or a substantial budget, and despite having suspense and a decent script, it could have been executed more effectively, both in terms of directing and camera work; it has all the hallmarks of a British 40s low-budget production, but desperately needed someone like Carol Reed, Alfred Hitchcock, or The Archers at the helm—any of whom would likely have created something truly special. I’m glad it was included in my Mill Creek ‘Nightmare Worlds’ collection of 50 films, because otherwise I probably wouldn't have ever known about it. Now I really want to collect all their sets and see what other forgotten cinematic gems I can find!
