Set in occupied Berlin just after World War II, this didactic Fuller movie follows G.I. James Best's marriage to a desperate fraulein (Cummings) while her one-armed younger brother (Tom Pittman) falls in with the Werewolves, a Nazi revival cult. In a blunt but powerful scene, Cummings saves her brother's soul by taking him to the Nuremberg War Crimes tribunal where Fuller cuts in a lot of documentary footage.
In a typical Fuller touch, the background score uses Beethoven and Wagner with gunshots replacing some chords. It has a realistic view of the political compromises of the Occupation, but depicts the graffiti-strewn rubble of the city as a nourish nightmare world. The unfamiliar cast are earnest rather than good, but there's no denying the rough-edged, raw power of the Fuller approach.
