I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Although J. Lee Thompson was the producer-director, this would-be suspenser plays like an Anatole Litvak cast-off. French female X-ray technician (Jewish and widowed, with one stepdaughter) is separated from her second husband on their wedding day by the Nazis; in 1945, having survived time in a concentration camp, she meets up with him again, but he doesn't recognize her and asks if she'll pose as herself so he can collect on her fortune. Worse, he is now romancing the woman's stepdaughter, who has grown into a godless, amoral bitch. Adaptation of Hubert Monteilhet's novel is overly-busy with flashbacks and asides (such as the kicking child on the train) which fail to add up to anything substantial or exciting. Ingrid Thulin's strong lead performance nearly holds the film together for much of the way, even if she far outclasses this crackpot material. ** from ****

One of those excellent films that has never been released on video or DVD. The first time I watched this there were only 2 other channels and both were showing programs I hated at that particular moment, so I ended up watching this film by default. What luck! I was treated to a beautiful, haunting film that featured great performances by Herbert Lom, Samantha Eggar, Maxmillian Schell and Ingrid Thulin. Thulin's performance in particular is flawless. She is utterly convincing as a death camp survivor trying to return to the world. If cable ever gets tired of endlessly re-running "Jaws", "The Breakfast Club" and "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" (Excellent films but shown 5 nights a week) and happens to air this true gem, be SURE you see/record it. The second time I caught it was on PBS--20 years after my initial viewing.

This will keep you confused till the end. Written in classic theatrical play/film style of Agatha Christie. Excellent performances by Maximillian Schell and Samantha Eggar illustrates why they can be called stars. Herbert Lom is far removed from the Inspector Clouseau comedies.

Why is it that films that you really love are never shown on the television? I remember this film was considered pretty risque for 1665. I think the advertising went something like, NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE THEATER ONCE FABBIE ENTER HER BATH... Wish I could see this one again!
