Plot Summary

Martin Schulz (Paul Lukas), a German-American art dealer, returns to Germany at the outbreak of World War Two, adopts the Nazi propaganda philosophy, refuses to protect the Jewish fiancee, Griselle Eisenstein (K.T. Stevens), of his son Heinrich Schulz (Peter Van Eyck), who has stayed in America to run the family business, and ultimately falls victim to the Gestapo himself. Written by Les Adams

Trivia K.T. Stevens (real name: Gloria Wood) is the daughter of the film's producer, Sam Wood. See more »
Goofs When Griselle first puts her bloody hand on the frame of Schulz's entrance door after he opens up, the right hand is placed at a certain height and angle while the fingers are spread in a certain shape. But in the following cuts, the hand and fingers have constantly changed angles and positions. In addition, the shape of the bloody hand-print left on the door frame after Schulz closes the door does not match the shape and location Griselle originally placed her hand. See more »
Crazy Credits The final fade-out is a closeup of the returned letter, specifically the "Address Unknown" stamped in English. It forms an end title card, which was itself unusual for its time. See more »
Quotes Baron von Friesche: Does he know the conditions he doesn't like? I find that hard to understand. I myself would hesitate to form conclusions without firsthand evidence. You must set him right. I suppose it isn't easy for a foreigner to understand the agonies our people have suffered since the Treaty of Versailles. What years of less and less bread, of leaner bodies, of the end of hope...
[pauses to offer Herr Schulz a cigarette]
Martin Schulz: [accepting a cigarette] Oh, thank you.
Baron von Friesche: The quicksand of despair held us. Then just before we died, a man came and pulled us out.
Baron von Friesche: [turning to Herr Professor] You are a native of Munich, Herr Professor?
Professor Schmidt: Well, uh...
Baron von Friesche: You have *witnessed* this deliverance.
Professor Schmidt: If it *is* a deliverance...
Baron von Friesche: [turning to Herr Schulz] You know, there's a surge, my friend. A surge. Our whole despair has been thrown aside like a forgotten coat. No longer do we wrap ourselves in shame.
Baron von Friesche: [turning to Herr Professor] What can be wrong about a man who affects people so?
Professor Schmidt: When people are hungry, they don't care *what* kind of a man it is who gives them bread.
