In a Nazi concentration camp, an escapee awaiting execution is spared when the commandant, a former prize-fighter, discovers the prisoner has amateur boxing ability. Ordered to train, he gradually sharpens his skills. —IMDb
Remarkable movie with an excellent international cast, bold cinematography and score. Manfred Krug as the commander delivers the best performance in his career. I think that this film and Munk's "Passenger" are among the innovative and pioneering cinematic statements on concentration camps and relationships between victims and perpetrators.
