Monty Clift's second film, he went to Europe & stayed in a Swiss army camp for months to get the feel of things. Filmed on location in post-war Munich, we get a true feeling of how devastating WWII really was. His scenes were a cut above the rest in the movies. Plot: He befriends a 10yr. old Czeck D.P. The child actor knew no English. He learned his lines by rote memory. Clift battled with the producer over the Script. He insisted on changing it, Mr. Producer insisted he didn't. Clift won.
