Carol Reed's very atmosperhic film shot in Berlin right after the war when the city was partitioned into sectors, about a young woman from England who visits her brother, an officer in the British sector, and his German wife, and gets involved in an intricate plot and a doomed romance, that takes the viewer through marvelously photographed and acted scenes, with James Mason at his finest, and an impressive cast of characters and settings. Can't say enough about the various settings in which the action occurs, the boy with great command of his bicycle on the icy streets, a long scene at an ice skating rink, and as the action builds along with the finale of an opera, and a kidnapping scene with a snow covered Cadillac tailing the innocent young woman down rubble strewned streets, Reed strung together a visually impressive and dark film that reveals a heartfelt tragedy.
