Powerful movie

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2006)

I thought this film was quite powerful with an excellent cast. Judy Garland, in a non singing dramatic turn, with a German accent proved to be quite the standout. She was nominated for the Academy award best supporting actress that year, but lost out to a dubbed Rita Moreno from West Side Story. Rita was terrific in the film. However, giving it to a dubbed performer, does that make a lot of sense?
Montgomery Clift also turned in a haunting performance as a man who had been the victim of Nazi medical experimentation.
It's one of those films you see and are impressed with the stellar quality of the old Hollywood stars like Spencer Tracy, Marlene Dietrich, and the others.
