Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzA grim courtroom drama about a shocking gang rape.
Goatdog's Movies - 5/10 by Michael W. Phillips, Jr.If it had more going for it than [Kirk] Douglas's electrifying performance ... I'd recommend it
User Review - 10/10 by Kim PA fascinating film. Much of the victim blaming would never fly today, but the film does a great job potraying the purely he/she nature of a rape trial. Kirk Douglas was incredible as the defense attorney. And I was paticularly impressed with Robert Blake and Richard Jaekel as two of the four soldiers. Jaekel, while he doesn't have many lines sits next to Douglas and has alot of camera time, and his reactions during the trial are amazing. A film that really makes you think.
User Review - 10/10 by Mark EFantasic military police thriller. Just great
User Review - 10/10 by Monica AA very powerful tale of unrelenting hate towards a young girl by the burghers of a small German town. The real culprit in the crime the girl endures is not just the four soldiers who raped her, but the German town, with all its nasty people, who condemn a girl who endured a horrifying experience. From the nosy neighbor who watched her exercise to a nosy old busybody who repeated every word and action the young couple did, to the parents of both the girl and the boy that turned against their own flesh--they were all as guilty as the rapists in the girl's eventual suicide. The part of Karin is played by Christine Kaufmann, who was only 16 at the time, and the audience is at first brought to think she is the town slut, when in fact she is just a normal girl who is violated first by the rapists, and then by the narrow-minded people (even her parents) that by the end of the film, the audience feels nothing but pity for what the girl has endured, Even the Army attorney defending the doldiers involved who tears her apart in the courtroom (Kirk Douglas) becomes so disgusted at what he had to do to break her down, throws up violently when he hears she committed suicide. The haunting Gene Pitney song closes with "Town Without Pity", reflecting the ugliness of the act of rape and the town that abandoned a troubled young woman.
User Review - 6/10 by Lesly Jeven in 1960 germany you got gossip folks. Kirk Douglas does it again...
User Review - 6/10 by Lee MThe courtroom drama is strong, but the jazzy soundtrack is all wrong for this film.
User Review - 6/10 by Jake DOkay so a German movie with no Nazis i know it sounds racist but hey what can you do. it was still good in its own right.
User Review - 6/10 by jay nVery well acted but an ugly look at the viciousness of the human race.
User Review - 4/10 by Orlok WA bit numb courtroom drama. It wasn't tense, emotional, thrilling or gripping enough. It rather seemed to focus more on the state of the town's mindset. And it wasn't an appealing approach. Strong dialogues and aggressive performances might have helped. Otherwise, except for the Berta Kulig's testimony sequence, there isn't much in terms of entertainment. On the whole, numb as it is, it's still a watchable piece. More or less.
