First i am happy to find a lot of people who are so fond of this film like me!Since years I try to get it in the original English synchronized version,because the German synchronized is,except M.Schell ,with strange and silly voices and stiff dialogs.I am so much interested in hearing the real voice of Marius Goring,and I cannot understand,why he did not speak the German version himself,although he did speak so fluently and without an accent!Both main actors are extremely good in this film ,and all the others too,to my opinion.Iwould be very happy,if I could get an English DVD ,but to get it in Germany is nearly impossible!!

So Little Time - Such an Impact

How sad that this film appears to have been lost - how do you "lose" such an good film?

I too have only seen it once, on television - was it in the seventies? But I've never forgotten it, and always kept an eye out for it to appear on television again, especially since the advent of cable, or in video stores, but it has eluded me.

I've always liked Marius Goring's work - yes, I fell in love with him in The Red Shoes - but this film was particularly strong in both story- line and casting. I've always preferred black and white film for drama, and it was just right for this romantic and ultimately tragic story.

I'm rating it high, although I saw it so long ago and can't remember details, but for any film to have had such an impact that one can't forget it decades later after one viewing, means it deserves the highest rating.

A haunting love story.You'll fall in love with Maria Schell

I can't recall when I first saw this movie but I didn't soon forget it.Without a doubt one of Maria Schell's greatest roles.Marius Goring was also great in his role.And an uncharacteristic part for him.I only wish it was available on video.

unforgettable WWII love story

I saw this film in the very early 60s on a NYC local channel that broadcast a show called Million Dollar Movie, in which the same film was shown every single night for one week. I was 13 or 14 and my mother was away, so I was free to watch it every night, which I did! (She would have scoffed at my teary romanticism.) All its elements -- WW II, resistance fighters, family betrayal, sympathetic German officer and a beautiful and conflicted young woman -- combined to make an unforgettable film. I have never forgotten it, remembering very specific scenes to this day, and I too would give anything to have a copy of it. My daughter lives in Germany, perhaps she can get me the German edition (even tho it is dubbed).

Great movie - now available on DVD in Germany if you are interested

I have loved this movie ever since I was a child when it seemed to be on television regularly in the 60s and 70s. It was also my mother's favourite film and I once arranged for it to be shown at the British Film Institute in London as a birthday gift for her.

However, just wanted to tell people that it is now available on DVD in Germany. Unfortunately only a dubbed version (with no subtitles) but for someone like me who was desperate to see it again - it was better than nothing. I have absolutely no idea why this film has not been made more available within the UK, on video, or on television where it not been shown to my knowledge within the last 20 years. Once again I have loved this moving love story which given the subject matter of the film could only end the way it does. Also, it is the only film I have seen where Marius Goring was sexy!!

Anecdotes
The film was made at Elstree but a unit went out to Belgium to film various outdoor scenes. The film unit based themselves in Leau, a small town with a population of 2,000 about 45 miles east of Brussels. Some of the scenes were at the Château de Sterrebeek, just outside Brussels, which stood in for the Château de Malvines in the film.

Gaffes
Although the story takes place in the mid-1940s, all of Maria Schell's clothing and hairstyles are strictly early 1950s.

[Gets up]
Oberst: Have some whipped cream. You're fond of whipped cream!
