The Devil Makes Three (1952)

Set in post WWII Germany, an Air Force pilot (Gene Kelly) returns to find the family that hid him from the Nazis. The only survivor is their daughter (Pier Angeli), who is working as a bar girl. He wants to help her but she wants to use him to smuggle contraband into Austria. But what looks like a small time black market scheme hides something far more sinister. Directed by Andrew Marton (KING SOLOMON'S MINES), this is one of many movies filmed on location in postwar Germany and dealing with the corruption (including unrepentant Nazis) in a devastated Germany and Austria struggling to recover from the war. As far as these kinds of films go, this one is no THIRD MAN or THE MAN BETWEEN. It's an okay film enhanced by the presence of Gene Kelly and Pier Angeli at the center of the story but there are far better movies dealing with the same subject that make this one pale in comparison. With Richard Egan, Richard Rober and Margot Hielscher.
