Note that this movie was made right after World War II, and most of it was filmed in Germany, in a reconstructed POW camp. It is the first movie made about World War II German prisoners of war! In the movie, the impostor is only identified as being Czech, but because he was in a concentration camp, one wonders if he wasn't also Jewish, although that is not specified in the movie. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: This set of 11x14s (and the other similar sets being sold separately on eBay this week) came from a Canadian movie theater that showed a lot of English films. These sets were what the theater was sent along with the films. The stills have a "second generation" look to them, as though they were copies made from other stills (but they are extremely good quality). We do know that these stills were used in the theater right when the films came out, so they are from the original release of the film, but perhaps the distributor created second generation materials for the Canadian market. Please do not bid on this set of stills unless you can accept them as they are. Condition: very good. Each still has minor creases throughout the still. Each still has a tack hole or two in or near the center of the image. Learn More about condition grades
