The Seventh Cross

First joint film appearance of real life couple Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy.

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).

There is an Italian edition of this film on DVD, distributed by DNA srl, "LA SETTIMA CROCE (1944) + THE SEARCH (Odissea tragica, 1948)" (2 Films on a single DVD), re-edited with the contribution of film historian Riccardo Cusin. This version is also available for streaming on some platforms.
