During the 1956 Hungarian uprising, an American mercenary is hired to smuggle a Hungarian resistance leader out of Soviet-occupied Budapest. Initial release: 1961
That makes sense but the first shot of the movie specifies 1960, Austro-Hungarian border. Perhaps we're supposed to believe that an underground persisted years after the uprising?
WHEN COMMUNISM BECAME DEFUNCT IN EUROPE: In April 1989, the Hungarian government ordered the electricity in the barbed-wire border fence along the Hungary-Austria border to be turned off. On 2 May, border guards began removing sections of the barrier - filmed by Western TV crews summoned for the occasion. On 27 June Hungary's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gyula Horn, and his Austrian counterpart, Alois Mock, held a symbolic fence-cutting ceremony at the Sopron (Hungary) border crossing. The open border meant that it was easier for Hungarians to cross into Austria for goods and services; many Hungarians availed themselves of this to purchase consumer goods which had been unavailable or scarce in their own country; a visible sign of this in the first few weeks was that many cars could be seen in Austrian towns such as Graz with washing machines strapped to them. The most famous crossing came on 19 August, when, during the Pan-European Picnic between Austrians and Hungarians, over 900 East Germans on holiday in Hungary rushed the border and escaped into Austria and then travelled safely to West Germany. The open border infuriated East German officials, who feared a return to the days before the Berlin Wall, when thousands of East Germans fled daily to West Berlin. Although worried, the Soviet Union took no overt actions against Hungary, taking a hands-off approach.
If it has Richard Widmark, it must be good !! If Senta Berger was dressed like that in Europe at the time, she would be apprehended by the police for indecent apparel: Really a stupid addition by the producers:
I think we're lucky to have these movies even if the actors are not correct .budgets did not allow for finding proper actors sometimes with the correct accent/ dialect.
It starts on the Austria-Hungarian border. While Austrian accents are quite similar to German accents, they are not identical, with Austrians having a distinct accent due to different pronunciation rules and vocabulary, especially noticeable in the way they pronounce certain consonants and vowels, making their speech slightly more nasal compared to standard German; essentially, they are close enough to understand each other but can be identified as separate accents
In making mediocre espionage films like this one - and there were quite a few - Hollywood studios misjudged the wants and needs of post-war American moviegoers. Judging by box office alone, they did not want to revel in or be reminded of the painful past.

2 the comments the stupid people think everyone else is like them.. but that's what makes us clever,, they don't know they ar stupid.. but just don't tell them they won't believe u if u do! 😂..
This movie made no sense to me. It wasn't clear who the good guys were, or the bad guys. Or what the old guy stood for. I like the location and Richard Widmark is a good actor, but not a good director. Confusing film, not good.
Those times were terrible and it's very probable that you wouldn't have survived them, so be lucky being alive and stop criticizing what you're incapable to understand

If it has Richard Widmark, it must be good !!
If Senta Berger was dressed like that in Europe

Really a stupid addition
by the producers:
SENTA BERGER !!!!! ??? THIS IS SONJA ZIEMAN !!!
@@siegridthomas9674 the first woman you see is Senta Berger
Typical American movie with all the spices and the superman-heroic elements.
Opening scene. If you don't want to get shot, stand behind a horse.
I think we're lucky to have these movies even if the actors are not correct .budgets did not allow for finding proper actors sometimes with the correct accent/ dialect.
Or, more likely, they didn't care to recruit "minorities".
I have only watched the beginning, but it is getting me upset. My Mother was born in Hungary, and the accents here are German, not Hungarian
Yes, l agree!! Hungary isn't Germany:
It is Mađaro...Love to all Hungarian

In those days who could afford the Gabor family their costs to appear on movies must have bee n astronomical 😏@@Tedinoz

This movie is only for people with some intelligence or with empathy

It's a cold war era. How else do you convince public that former allies are now enemies,?

Yeah. Democracy is nothing more than mob rule. Two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. Great stuff... if you are a wolf.

Ridiculous nonsense
My Hungarian friends would disagree. They escaped the Workers Paradise of Hungary and the Warsaw Pact❤
@@lorenzo6mmI agree, and I think this movie very truthful, times were so confusing then, whom to trust, whom to fear,
Stupid movie
Stupid comment.
