I like this movie a lot because it has a great story and great, yet unknown to me, actors, but also because it is a rare movie set in a postwar Munich. Ten years after the war the city still looks incredibly ragged. The stunts are still amazing. Another twist to this is that director Kurt Neumann started off in Hollywood reshooting German versions of successful US-American movies, yet here he is back in his homeland, creating a successful English-language venture in Germany and then reshooting it with German actors. If you don't know Kurt Neumann, his movies are really worth your while, and they include the earliest postwar scifi-rocket movie.
