This has got to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The plot was so full of holes (both under the historical and logical points of view) that you really got to wonder if the screen writer had the faintest idea of what life was like in war time Europe... Just some examples: the chances of somebody running around in a night dress in the dead of the night in Berlin without being stopped by the police would have been zero; there were no phone boots around the city in those days; the Gestapo cars sure did not have contemporary north-American type sirens; if the blond lady friend of M Griffith was indeed a Nazi, why was the old guy working for the Americans still at large until the very end; and the list could go on and on... It is sad to see that Hollywood can do such a lousy job on such an important topic; what's more, it is frightening to see that many viewers thought this was a realistic movie!
