- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and history and war-film fans. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Same wavelength as Suite Française or The Guns of Navarone. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Intense.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 33 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1959: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Two rivals from a German bomb squad are left to deactivate duds in postwar Berlin.
