8/10
This made me learn

I was intrigued by this movie when it premiered when I was fifteen. The Nazis and all of their ugliness is magnified when I read up on the "Lebensborn" program. And, when I read about how Himmler expected his SS men to have at least four children, I saw why this is a good movie for people to see and for them to go on and investigate this facet of the Nazi era. Enough about that. Lee Remick was a great piece of casting for this. She had the Aryan look, as the old bankers reaction tells us. Also, Patrick McGoohan was a terrific choice, being able to make his change of heart believable. Best of all, as others have mentioned, is when Remick has her breakdown. When she starts trying to hug all the children and keeps saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" That's some good skill, making that work without going over top. Get a copy of this and see it.
