About this movie

Richard Basehart and Gary Merrill star in this stirring 1951 Best Picture Oscar® Nominee. As the Third Reich declines, the Allies develop a radical new plan -- to employ German POWs as spies. Led by American Colonel Devlin (Merrill) and executed by Lieutenant Rennick (Basehart), the plan is risky. Tension builds as the Americans learn whether the former Nazis will help or betray the Allies!
