Warning: Spoilers
This movie showcased her acting ability with more controlled emotions.You hardly see her grin as she has done in American films, except then the character requires to be happy.Portraying a dedicated doctor, and volunteering as a nurse due to shortage in Yugoslavia ,who is naive about the dictatorship of her government .Everything looks perfect .She is engaged to a Nazi soldiers,Martin Berger, played by Carl Mohner.Then a bunch of people come up to her claiming they need help,The Yugoslavia good guys,Boro played by Bernahrd Wicki,Militza, played by Barbra Rutting.They need her to perform an operation for their doctor.She does n but he dos not survive.They totally needs her.She resent this at first cause she sees them as the bad guys.But sooner or later after knowing Boro and servicing the wounded ,she begins to realize that they are as human as her people.She even meets an old women woo she explained was part of the Austria Empire, gives her late son's mountain walking shoes to her .They run out of medicine and she has to go to her side to get it at a Mosque by portraying a Muslim women.Her boy friend tries to rescue her but she has to give them the medicine ,then she'll come back.The movie is anti war.It proves that war is wrong.But your corporate broadcaster may not show this film cause of it implies sympathy of the Nazis.This is what they would see in it.The corp distributors may not even distribute it on home video. Political correctness saves the greedy money. Fortunately a digital print with subtitles are available at Germanwarfils.com
