| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevySpencer Tracy, usually solid, is miscast as a German who escapes from concentration camp, but then the whole saga is fake, compared to Zinnemann's later works. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherIf you will accept this premise, despite the evidence of recent deeds, then you should be both moved and shaken by the better part of this film. |
| User ReviewJared DLargely forgotten WWII concentration camp film with a great cast and very believable texture as directed by Fred Zinnemann (From Here to Eternity) |
| User ReviewScott RA compelling suspenseful tale about a man wanted by the nazis on the run. |
| User ReviewGreg Wgood WWII drama gr8 cast & director r the fuel that makes this go |
| User ReviewGeorge RSpencer Tracy, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy and Agnes Moorehead...what a cast for 1944 in this cliffhanger about an escapee from a German concentration camp in 1936. Good performances by all who demonstrated the mistrust of a totalitarian regime. |
| User ReviewSTCENTERPRISE .The Seventh Cross. 1936 7 Jews escape a Jewish camp. 1 got caught by the Nazis shortly after they recognised the escape. Not a big fan of having the narration of the movie. The mirror bathroom scene was interesting how it was filmed because it looked like a split screen up until one of them nearly walked right into the mirror. |
| User ReviewMichael YI was hoping this would be a little more exciting but it isn't. Pretty much every scene with Hume Cronyn is decent but the rest of the movie is a complete fucking bore. |
