Being a Montgomery Clift fan it was good to be able to watch the film on such a good quality DVD. For such an old film it was very clear throughout. Thoroughly enjoyable. Definitely recommended.
This film stars Montgomery Clift and is set in 1948 in the Ruins of the German capital Berlin. Berlin is now occupied by the Allies and the Soviet troops. Who blockade all of the Allied Sectors in order to attempt to take sole control of the City. The result is the Berlin Airlift and the story follows the lives of 2 US Airmen Sgt Danny MacCullough (Clift) and Sgt Hank Koqalksi (Paul Douglas) who are there to help the civilians but have very different views of the German people. The arrogant Kowalski cannot forgive them for WW2 and will not be dissuaded from holding every german accountable, but MacCullough grasps the beleaguered city with both hands and opens his heart to an attractive German widow... in return she opens Danny's eyes to the twilight world of occupied Berlin. Film is shot in Black and White and is approx 120 running time. Real footage shot in Berlin.Read full review
An old film just as would have been shown in cinema's in 1950 and just what is needed before I go to Berlin for a short break sight-seeing.
