Anna kidnaps the little boy from his grandparents, but she loses him in transport; when a Western policeman (Eric Schuman) risks his job to return the child, the two fall hopelessly in a love without hope. Horst Buchholz, as a young Russian soldier, makes a tragically ineffective attempt to help the lovers. The moral, hammered in to the sound of guns and fighting police dogs, is clear. Germany must be reunited...
Tiger Bay. A fast-moving British film-that follows a killer and a little girl around Cardiff, produces enough suspense to bring sweat to stone foreheads. With Horst Buchholz, Hayley Mills...
