Wissenswertes
In real life Herbert Lom was Hungarian-born and of part Jewish extraction, was extremely well educated and could speak Hungarian and Czech as well as German and English. He caught the acting bug in his late teens and fled to England nine months before the outbreak of WWII where he was soon in demand as a film actor due to his ability to convincingly play a range of different nationalities.

Zitate
Campbell Reid: Listen kiddo. This is what you've gotta remember. You've got a decent future in front of you. If you can get outta this stinking camp and live amongst decent people. That's why you gotta remember who you area and where you came from. You don't belong here, you know that, don't you?
Lidia aka Hildegarde: I don't know.
Campbell Reid: You've gotta pull yourself together and remember who you are.

Full Credit to the Gainsborough Sound Department

Unlike many 1940s movies, this film came from over with crisp dialogue so I did not have to turn the volume control up to listen to the screenplay.Even my wife noticed it had good sound production standards.Guy Rolfe an army officer in 1946, to kill time sees a portrait in a forces art gallery and makes the acquaintance there of the Jewish father of the girl posing for it, (Mai Zetterling).As he has just been jilted, he has time on his hands as the army has given him temporary leave from his army job in Hannover, Germany.

Fascinated by the portrait, he sets out to find the girl from the masses of "DPs" (displaced persons) in Europe who were stateless at the end of WW11 and placed in special camps by the allies.I also liked hearing authentic German spoken by the cast which included Herbert Lom at the beginning of his film career.As there is a surprise ending I will draw a veil over my comments so as not to provide a spoiler.A good production which held my interest to the end.7/10
