Synopsis
During World War II, Helmut Dantine specialized in playing villainous Nazis in Hollywood melodramas. He offers a compelling performance in a variation of these earlier roles in this suspense filled and politically loaded tale of intrigue. The story opens in German-occupied Athens during the darkest hours of the war. Civilians are not allowed on the streets after dark.

Reviews on the Internet Archive
★★★★ · interesting and unusual war melodrama · kingfast · 2012-07-03
Marianna, in her only film, does a great job and looks great as Zaira, the girl geurrilla. There are some inconsistencies in authenticity but they do not detract from a fast moving and well staged drama. Some interesting character parts and an absorbing narrative, treated in a partly documentary style.
