What Counter-Attack Is About

Two Soviet soldiers trapped under a bombed building find themselves facing seven German soldiers caught in the same ruins. There is no way out, when help will come is unknown, and neither side can wait without sleeping. In that closed space the matter stops being one of firepower; who can hold out longer and who makes the first mistake become what decides it. The film was made during the war, while the two countries were allies, and speaks from a position that affirms the Soviet soldier; it is worth watching knowing that tone belongs to its period. It was adapted from a work for the stage. Paul Muni plays the lead in Zoltan Korda’s ninety minute American film, completed in 1945.
