Influenced by A Clockwork Orange?


There’s a reason you probably haven’t heard of this WWII resistance movie. Starring an aging Anthony Quinn and James Mason, this movie is very “odd” in only the way a 70’s movie can be. The plot would make you assume that it’s a good, old-fashioned secret mission WWII movie about a shepherd who is hired to help a family escape from the Nazis across the Pyrenees. And it is, but with a twist. They are being hunted by a twisted Nazi pervert. Every scene he is in seems like its straight out of “Clockwork Orange.” Gratuitous sex, creepy characters, and violent torture abound. With next to no action until the end, this is one you will want to skip. 2 action rating
