One, Two, Three, What Are We Fighting For?
Helmut Dantine is a Greek working for the Nazis during the Second World War. They capture a bunch of partisans, including Marianna -- sorry, no last name -- and it turns out that Dantine is an agent for the Resistance. They begin an affair, but war is war and they are soon separated. After the War, Marianna is working for the Communist insurgents, and Dantine for the Greek government, and the two sides are going at it in a bloody-minded fashion; as one communist notes after a prisoner is gunned down without a trial "In a revolution, some innocents will die."
Or is that "innocence"? It's an odd little movie, clearly intended as an anti-communist piece, and yet it winds up being anti-authoritarian; the Greek government is just as bloody-minded as the Commies. It's also odd in that it was produced in Newburgh, New York, and except for Dantine, most of the people in front of the camera are very obscure. They seem to be good performers, and the cameramen are ok, but the direction is slow, hammering home every subtextual point, and the music is jarring.
