L'estrema rinuncia

Ray Milland plays an American serviceman who is behind Nazi lines and is trying to make his way back to England. It's odd that they didn't just make him a British serviceman considering he was Welsh in real life. Regardless, he's assisted by some nuns. But after the evil Nazis murder the Reverend Mother at the convent, he and a young (and hot looking) nun run away and try to make contact with the underground...all the while, Germans are practically nipping at their heels.

This is a most unusual wartime picture, as it presents a romance, of sorts, between a soldier and a nun...though it never really develops. I assume it is because the filmmakers worried about how the public would accept such a romance. And the ending...well it is downbeat but also keeps the film from being a typical propaganda film with cardboard Nazis. Well worth seeing.
