With this title and knowing it was a
WWII movie, I was surprised to find it is set in Washington D.C. Bette
Davis plays the proud wife of an anti-fascist German man who, along
with their three children, has been on the move for several years
dodging the Nazis. They come to D.C. to visit the family she hasn’t
seen in 17 years.
This movie had a really solid script by
Dashiell Hammett, but the words were given over to what I would call
very clunky acting from everyone outside of Bette Davis and Oscar
winner Paul Lukas. So while I enjoyed the story, it was hard to
get too immersed in it.
45 to go…
