This wartime drama by Polish director Jan Rybkowski is most successful in its suspense-filled first half, beginning when a Polish prisoner in a concentration camp is taken to be transported to Dachau. The desperate prisoner seizes an opportune moment and gets away from the Gestapo -- and the chase is on. As he hides and runs, and then hides some more, the man ends up in Dresden just before the Allied fire-bombing of that city. At that point, the drama becomes a chronicle of the destruction of Dresden in all its terror and ignominy. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
