    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      First joint film appearance of real life couple Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy.
    • Goofs
      When the escapees are being hunted, the only uniformed personnel we see chasing them are the 'Storm troopers' (Sturmabteilung) or SA. Even before the 'night of the Long Knives', the SA would not have been the only group to search for escapees & by 1936, the hunt would also have been carried out by the regular police and the Schutzstaffel (SS).
    • Quotes
      • George Heisler: There are no better men than Paul Roeder.
