Rating:  - Don't buy this
After seeing Black Book I was interested in seeing other movies about the beginning of the German invasion of Holland. I tracked this one down, but what a waste of time it was....It's very confusing when attempting to show the atmosphere in Amsterdam at this time. Hard to know the motivations of some of the characters, and in the end the only interest for me was seeing the Australian actor, Peter Finch, in an early role before he gained international stardom.
Finally it's drab, and should be avoided!
Rating:  - Great Historical Film!!!!!

Rating: - Special movie
This movie is special for me becouse my father was stand in for Peter Finch. Now he is past away this movie has more and more value for me than ever before. This movie was shot at locations around Amsterdam and Ymuiden. You still can see all the places where they were on location.
Best regarts Peter de Graaf, Son of Pieter de graaf, How was stand in for Peter Finch.
Rating: - Just like my dad described!!!
I am related to Jan and Johan Smit. They were my great grandfather and great uncle. I have been told this story many times by my father since I was a little girl and now through the magic of VHS and DVD, I can see the movie version of what happened. It is a really wonderful story and the movie really does it justice!!
