Comment/Synopsis

A lonely German keeps two downed American airmen prisoner in his basement even after the war ended as they are his only friends. As time goes on the two men start to become stir crazy. This is a strange and weird film with a good performance from Alec Guinness. It is notable only for a very early performance from Robert Redford.
