Castle Keep (1969)
A true artifact of it's time

If you lived in the late 1960's, it is not difficult to tell when this movie was made. Syndney Pollack was one of the "in" Directors of the time. The theme music is closer associated to the time the film was made than the period which is supposed to represent. For this reason, your willing suspense of disbelief never enters the 1940's. Instead the Director and Producers cater to their contemporary viewing audience. This may be because the film was release in 1969 when the Vietnam war was on its downward slope in the eyes of public opinion. A movie about WWII would have to be more "hip" to be a commercial success. And when we get down to it, movies are made to bring in a profit!
