85/100. This is such an excellent and moving drama. In one of Montgomery Clift's earliest roles, he displays his great gift for acting. He is very well cast. Aline MacMahon delivers a very well thought out performance. The key to the importance of this film is the realistic approach it takes to the subject matter. It is very believably done. Wonderful cinematography. It was nominated for four Academy Awards, screenplay, director Fred Zinnemann and Clift for best actor. It won for motion picture story. Beautifully done.

Outstanding film debut by Montgomery Clift in this very believable story of a child refugee from Auschwitz. Actually filmed in Germany when it was still really bombed out. Another great film about Europe and WWII from Fred Zinnemann!

Awesome chemistry between the kid and the G.I. and the dialogue is extremely intelligent for a 40's movie. Plus the end is so moving, I actually cried.

Although there's a slight suspicion that (as in Rossellini's work from this period) the plight of children is being used as a sort of emotional shorthand, the integrity and moving effect of this piece is never really in doubt.
