The Damned – 1947 Clement
- This is a ruthless ugly film showing the horrors of the Nazi’s pretty honestly, especially for a 1947 film
- It’s both a prison film, a war film, and a submarine film and borrows from all 3 sub-genres
- There’s a great tracking shot of the French doctor being forced through an entire German U-boat
- Marcel Dalio is great in a small role- so slippery
- The coffee warehouse is a very nice set piece
- There are some flaws- like the central action is shown outside of the privy of the main character and narrator- really for the first time- it’s a big flaw and nearly keeps the film from the archives altogether
- In the archives but not in or near the top 10 of 1947
- Recommend
