(DVD, Sony Screen Classics by Request)
Two Russian soldiers become trapped underneath a destroyed building with a group of Nazi's. Paul Muni is the Russian who decides to play a battle of wits with the Germans, hoping to identify the officer among them and get him to reveal vital information about the battle raging above them. His biggest enemy is sleep, and I would not advise watching this film late at night. Based on a Broadway play, it retains a stage bound feel, rarely going beyond the cramped confines of the crumbling hole in which they are trapped.
