Norma Shearer and Robert Taylor's love affair may cost them everything… including their lives!, 10 September 1998




Author: PS from Los Angeles, California 



This is an unusual film for the Queen of MGM, Norma Shearer. Although she has never looked better, in this suspense
drama, she is not the central character but rather a supporting one. The story centers on Robert Taylor who is desperate
to evacuate his mother (played by the silent screen legend Alla Nazimova) from Nazi occupied Europe. Director Mervyn
LeRoy keeps the pace going swiftly and contemporary audiences will enjoy the film as much as they did in 1940 when it
opened at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

A minor gem...handsomely produced and well acted melodrama of the Nazi menace..., 30 May 2001

Author: ND from U.S.A.





In the Ethel Vance novel, the role of the Countess is even smaller than it is in the film. The story has been
re-structured to fit MGM's Norma Shearer (still the Queen of the lot at the time) and Robert Taylor. Taylor, always an
underrated actor, gives one of his most forceful, sensitive and earnest performances as an American trying to free his
mother from a German prison camp and seeking the help of the Countess to achieve his goal. Suspense builds as the Nazi
menace (Conrad Veidt) threatens to destroy any hope he has of enabling his mother to escape.



Handsomely produced, although much of the Alpine scenery has a studio-bound stage setting look, it gives us a glimpse of
Norma Shearer's aristocratic beauty and Robert Taylor in his prime--which should be enough for some movie fans. Added to
that is the suspenseful story and an excellent supporting cast--including Nazimova as the mother, Felix Bressart and
Bonita Granville as a pro-Nazi sympathizer. It all moves rather smoothly under Mervyn LeRoy's direction, a glossy
melodrama that unfortunately has never made its way to video. Well worth watching, so catch it if you can on one of the
cable stations.

suspenseful, 5 February 2001



Author: bfrom United States



This is another underrated film, probably due to the fact that in those days, the studios just churned them out. It's a
shame that today, with fewer films being made, more can't be "churned out" like this one. A top-notch cast,
including Robert Taylor, Nazimova, Conrad Veidt and Norma Shearer do justice to a very good script which at times has
you on the edge of your seat. 



Robert Taylor plays an American who comes to Germany looking for his mother, a well-known German actress, who married an
American and returns to Germany to sell her house. One can really feel his frustration as he frantically tries to find
information on her whereabouts. Finally, he learns that she is in a concentration camp awaiting execution. Along the
way, he has met Shearer, an American, who continued to live in Germany after she was widowed and is now seeing a German
officer.



The film is heavy on propaganda, as Taylor comes up against citizens afraid to talk and nasty, uncaring Nazis. Even
Shearer refuses to help him initially, and an old family friend pretends not to know him. Taylor does an excellent job
as both a desperate man and a loving, tender son. Without giving the story away, he has one magnificent nonverbal moment
where it literally looks like the blood has drained from his face. Shearer is lovely, and Veidt is alternately charming
and scary. Nazimova plays Taylor's mother in a strong performance. Though she went outside the studio to get Tyrone
Power to costar with her in "Marie Antoinette" rather than use Taylor, both Shearer and Taylor were under
contract to MGM and would meet again for Shearer's final film, "Her Cardboard Lover."

Suspense-laden melodrama, 22 October 2001



Author: S



As a Norma Shearer fan, I looked for this movie for years and finally found it on TCM (hail the great god, Ted Turner!).
First of all, I was surprised to find a movie made so early in the years of WW2 that actually brought up the topic of
concentration camps, and the reason why Robert Taylor's mother is to be executed (she helped Jewish refugees leave for
America -- "Jew" is never mentioned, but it is obvious). The performances are top-notch, and it was nice to
see Nazimova toning down her usual grande dame-isness. I've never been a Robert Taylor fan, but this movie has one of
his best performances as he alternately bucks authority in the good old American way and puts up with the Nazi-Gestapo
badgering. Norma Shearer is fine, even though her role is small, and her scenes with Conrad Veidt (playing her Nazi
suitor) are very effective. You can see her democratic side gradually gaining strength against Veidt's facism as she
sees more and more of Taylor and his own dilemma makes her question her present beliefs. It's a must-see.

Condemned to death for selling your home!, 15 October 2003



Author: nj from California, USA



Imagine! Returning to the country of yourself birth and finding yourself convicted of treason, then condemned to death,
and for the sole crime of selling your old family home. Thus begins the nightmare one woman is plunged into in 1936 Nazi
Germany, and is the setting for her son's desperate attempt to free and get her to safety. Robert Taylor plays the
American-born son who goes to Germany to find out what has happened to his missing mother.



Feel his shock and incredulity when he learns of his mother's impending execution. See his mounting desperation and
frustration as his inquiries are met with fearful denials from the very people who were once his mother's friends and
neighbors.



To who can this lone American turn to for help? You will find yourself on the edge of your seat as you watch the
unfolding horror, the near misses, the turning of fate. Better yet, read the novel this movie is based on.
