    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film met with a lukewarm reception in its native Germany, with the local media being less than complimentary about it. The German Oscar selection committee did not even include it as a submission for that year's Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. Much embarrassment ensued when it went on to become one of the most successful German films ever released in the US, winning a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.
    • Goofs
      At one point Salomon narrowly misses being killed in an air-raid, which kills his roommate. Rather than show a World War II aircraft, or even a bomber, stock footage shows a single C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, which was not even designed until many years after the war.
    • Quotes

      Isaak Perel - Salomons brother: It is written that a son never leaves his parents in difficult times.

      Solomon's Father: It is also written that the son must obey his parents. And it is also your duty to watch over your brother.

    Well made.

    The print that I saw of this film was stunning. Come to think of it, every aspect of this film was well though out, excellently executed, and just as stunning. And just like any other film that deals with the plight of the Jewish people during WWII, this is not a feel good film that will have you wanting to watch it again and again. Very well made and well acted film.
