...mass exodus not only continues but is currently on the increase: over the Easter weekend, 5,200 refugees checked in at reception centers in West Germany and West Berlin.

Viennese-born Composer Ernest Gold, a veteran of two decades of film scoring (On the Beach and The Defiant Ones), knows better than most of his colleagues how to write a mystery in a web of strings and nostalgia in a flute's falling sigh. The film's haunting theme hints of a talent for better things...
