Terrific cast with some superb acting! James Stewart is excellent as always in his third paring with Margaret Sullavan. Perhaps Frank Morgan's finest performance. And Maria Ouspenskaya is always a treat! Well done filming of Phyllis Bottome's novel.

This is an excellent film and a unique artifact of its times. This the first time Hollywood went after Nazism and they felt the need to tread softly. The words 'Hitler', 'Nazi', and 'Germany' are never used but it's obvious what we are talking about and it isn't pleasant. The studio hoped to avoid having it banned in Germany, the government there responded to it by banning it and ALL other MGM films. Besides all that it's GOOD, with an incredible cast and high production values. If you haven't see this go ahead and buy it, you won't regret it.
Along with “The Great Dictator”, this was a very convincing film against Nazi Germany and what they stood for before America’s full involvement in 1941. What makes it even more significant was that Jimmy Stewart soon became a decorated bomber pilot so he contributed to the defeat of Hitler both as a soldier as well as an actor!
