I would rather watch these classic movies on YT, with fine acting, good stories to tell, clean and wholesome, ratherthan some of the movies being produced these days.
Yes. My mother (a Black woman) really loved that about the ending. She probably first saw the movie when it came out in the 1950s. While I was watching this movie as a child (in 1960s) mother couldn't help spoiling it a little by telling me of that nice ending. before it happened
Super classic movie. I was born in Germany and I was there and I just love the screenplay the actors the actress fabulous thank you and thank you, RUclips. My father was an American Air Force pilot and I was born in Frankfurt Germany. Wow 77 years ago unreal. Thank you again.
I feel so sad when I see movies that are trying to tell our history.... and then hear how so many books are being rewritten. This movie is only scratching the surface.... The younger generation these days will get a rude awakening soon and lets hope it won't be too late....
It is already too late. The young generation is living on clouds, unaware that war TEARS APART the facade of civilization, behind which the worst animal on this planet plunders nature, and thereby thrive
This is a great film, thanks for posting. All through the movie I was looking for good things to happen to Dana Wynter's character,she had gone through so much. My heart went out to her.

I thank you for whoever posted this. I watched this on NBC Saturday Night t The Movies sometime after 1961 or so and was drawn by Dana Wynters beauty and the excellent story. I have wanted to see this again for at least 60 years. THANK YOU AGAIN for posting this. It is a WWII version of Cinderella for me.
Thank you, so much, for posting this - I can watch it whenever I want to now. Wonderful film, that remains wonderful even though it doesn't shy away from the harsh realities. Brilliantly-done.

Charming and real. Shots of Berlin's rubble 12/13 years after the war -- wow. Dana Wynter's profile reminds me of Catherine Deneuve's. Gorgeous. And Mel is very likable here.
20th Century Fox certainly created a tear jerker with this film. Even as a young adolescent, I remember the emotion this movie provoked. I especially appreciated the anti-racism displayed by the performance of James Edwards. It made me believe that our conquest of Nazi Germany had some redeeming values apart from those of the ideological. Thanks for posting it.
Haven't yet watched this but I've always found Ferrer to be a good actor in any role in which I've seen him. Not a top star in his era, I don't believe, but a reliable, frequently seen one, usually with some prominence in high-quality films.
Good, simplistic version. A grim reminder ( cleaned up copy ) of the fate of many similar "girls" /women of war torn places. It's an ugly reality, I'm sure many didn't make it... What amazes me, are the kind hearted men who helped rescue them. Even now, I pray that good men will stand for them.
Did anyone notice the army officer at the beginning of the movie is a slim John Banner a/k/a “Sgt. Klaus” before Hogans Heroes? Gr8 movie finally got a chance to see it❣️❤️💝
This actually is a good film despite the rather bland, straightforward way it is made. Some very touching moments in it. It has a charm, something we need more of. Dana Wynter very moving in parts. She and Susan Hayward have quite a lot similar. Thanks for showing it. I was about to let it go in the first 15 minutes and am glad I saw it through.
Dana Wynters was ravishing in this film. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. When I saw this for the first time I didn't even realize it was the same actress that was in 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'. She was gorgeous in that one as well. 😍
Of all the films that came out during the post-war era I don't imagine there were many dealing with such human issues as this. What a beautiful story. From the ashes of war come the rebuilding of lives and societies. I suppose we all have a little bit of Phoenix dna in us. During my 20-year Cold War career which included lots of port visits to Europe and a 3-year tour in West Germany, bringing home a foreign bride was not at all as common as it was in the post war years. Yet we all knew someone who did it.

@@keithharvey7230 He was also made a fine Meyer in "Darker Than Amber" with Rod Taylor as Travis McGee. Bikel was also superb as a killer accountant in "Columbo".
Dana Wynter was a great beauty, but I prefer her natural dark hair, especially in black & white movies like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "The List of Adrian Messenger".
Before they were "Fraulein's" They were called "Schotze's" My Mother is German. My Father Met her in Salzburg, Austria in post war Europe and married Her in Vienna. This was a very similar era movie and story in that time. American women were very hostile to American GIs coming home with German Wives. Millions of young women never married in Europe and America too. War murdered their husbands and the futures of millions of souls never born Watch the "Third Man" with Orson Welles. The ending of that Movie is priceless.
Thank you for posting this movie. I love old movies. I would love to see a movie I watched about 75 years ago. It was about Stephen Foster, a song writer. Beautiful Dreamer----one of my favorite songs.
@@ilovenyiloveny1140 I had remarked that, you know. But the wishy-washy aspect is really unbearable for anyone who have the least bit of knowledge about the era. That certainly does not involve a lot of people. Anyway, that kind of film (which, apart from that is quite good. I enjoyed it!) should be labelled "fairy tale", something of the level of classic Walt Disney cartoons.
At this time a picture was taken of the Cathedral with absolute desolation surrounding it on every side for a mile or more. How our bombers were able to avoid destroying it must be credited to God alone.
The African American MP who altered Frauline’s occupation from Prostitute to occupation Not Listed is a beacon of compassion. Otherwise could never get a passport to the States.
I enjoyed this movie immensely. Dana Wynter was lovely, the Captain was handsome, Americans were portrayed in a good light, she didn’t get molested going into Russian territory!
I enjoyed this movie. It is odd, but I had not seen it before. Of course, I was a kid; Dad was a WWII veteran who had veteran friends, and some of them were married to "war brides."

This movie has a happy ending. I'm 72. Many of my Father's American friend's (upper middle) had European, WWII "war brides," and were happy.
Of all the films that came out during the post-war era I don't imagine there were many dealing with such human issues as this. What a beautiful story.

Hi dakotail. The way the world is going, perhaps American Presidents should add the word "PLEASE." to that statement.... Perhaps we all should.!!
It took me awhile to recognize the Russian Colonel. That's Heinie, the German naval officer who was in "The enemy below".
Theodore Bikel.He was in The African Queen,My Fair Lady and was Oscar nominated for The Defiant Ones.
@@keithharvey7230 He was also made a fine Meyer in "Darker Than Amber" with Rod Taylor as Travis McGee. Bikel was also superb as a killer accountant in "Columbo".
He was the Captain of a Russian submarine in the comedy movie “The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming”.
I believe Mr. Bikel played the original Capt. Von Trapp on Broadway.
Dana Wynter was a great beauty, but I prefer her natural dark hair, especially in black & white movies like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "The List of Adrian Messenger".
I was wondering where I saw her before. Unforgettable face.
...and in 'Sink the Bismark'.
Very good story line, acting and very true to what women experienced post War II Germany.
A beautiful movie as we all dream!
Winter was born in Berlin
Before they were "Fraulein's"
They were called "Schotze's"
My Mother is German. My Father
Met her in Salzburg, Austria in post war Europe and married
Her in Vienna.
This was a very similar era movie and story in that time. American women were very hostile to American GIs coming home with German Wives. Millions of young women never married in Europe and America too. War murdered their husbands and the futures of millions of souls never born

The reality was far more grim and ugly than what is shown in this story. This is a very sanitised American version of history.
It’s for entertainment, not a documentary.

A very classy film. Well acted and made.
Nice post war movie, enjoy the story near real life. Its been quite a while since i’ve seen such a movie.
At this time a picture was taken of the Cathedral with absolute desolation surrounding it on every side for a mile or more. How our bombers were able to avoid destroying it must be credited to God alone.
Neither was the IG Farben building which became the Aliied HQ, and no hits ever on any concentration camps.
It wasn't avoided. It was just so solidly built that bombs that size couldn't faze it.
How many other thousands of churches were bombed/destroyed during WW II? And did any synagogues survive in German occupied terroritories?
Nice wartime drama. Well acted.
Just love a happy ending. Great stuff ❤
Amazing the unrepaired bomb damage even when this film was made in 1958
Dana Wynter: perhaps the world's most beautiful woman ever to grace the big screen.
She certainly was one of them.
One of them. Also inger Stevens
I'm a sucker for happy endings.

I enjoyed this movie immensely. Dana Wynter was lovely, the Captain was handsome, Americans were portrayed in a good light, she didn’t get molested going into Russian territory!
That part, the Russian part was sanitised. See Hildegard Neffs autobiography: 10, 00 women and girls did not survive this experience
She was forced to be the mistress of the Russian commander in her dead uncle's house.
