A pleasant surprise in the film-noir genre of independent cinema. The "one" bad review of this film is obviously from a sad individual who has a grudge against a person (or persons) involved in the production. Truly, it's impossible to watch this movie and not enjoy it. The quality cinematography, sound, editing, special effects and music score is "spot on". With over thirty actors in this recreation of another era, most of them do a fine job and are quite convincing (especially the Nazi war criminals). Viewing this little indie wonder, you feel transported back in time to 1961. Although I'm not one to leave reviews, I feel compelled to recommend this film. The write up in The Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper attracted me to the theatrical premiere and the audience of over 300 people in the main auditorium hailed this movie with endless applause. It begins a little slow but the last 40 minutes will have you on the edge of your seat. While it may not be Oscar material, it "is" a must see.
