Review of Verboten! (1959) by Ben G — 20 Jul 2009

This film starts perfectly with one of the best action scenes ever shot but quickly evolves into a string of clichés. So it is interesting that the RKO got involved in such a touchy subject as early as 1959, but it doesn't make for the incredible dullness of the film which lacks artistic mastery (the inclusion of real footage is catastrophic) as well as realism (a young Nazi, flipped in favour of the allies after attending the Nuremberg trial.

..). That's the sort of movies you really wonder why they bothered to release in DVD (and why I bothered to buy it).
