With the second world war ending, already Germans envisioned a united country. A man of peace, Paul Lukas, travels back for a peace conference with this idea in mind. Trouble is that there is an absolute lunatic fringe who doesn't want this to occur and instead see a divided Germany as cause for discontent and eventual renewal of war against the allies.
The usually benign Charles Korvin has a completely different role here. As Lukas's faithful secretary, Merle Oberon is anything but dominant in this 1948 film. The Russian officer in the film is stereotyped as being suspicious of anything western.
The best part of the film is the ending where we see hope for friendship and understanding among the nations.
