61. "Decision Before Dawn" (1951)

Tonight's a listener request with 1951's "Decision Before Dawn." Although an American production, DFD could be mistaken for a co-German production, given that it's filmed among the post-bombing ruins of Nuremburg, Munich, etc (esentially making it a 'rubble film'). In the last days of the European war, an American outfit recruits German prisoners to spy on their own country. What will happen when cynical Tiger and idealistic Happy return to their old stomping grounds?... Asides incldue the past availability of cheap, legal speed (specifically ephedrine), and how child stars look weird as adults.  Drop us a line at worldwartwomovienight@gmail.com Check us out on Twitter at http://twitter.com/WWIIMovieNight Consider donating at https://www.patreon.com/WorldWarTwoMovieNight
