VERBOTEN! (1959) B/W 87m dir: Samuel Fuller

w/James Best, Susan Cummings, Tom Pittmann, Paul Dubov, Harold Daye, Dick Kallman, Steven Geray

An intense postwar love story about a disillusioned young German woman romanced by a Yank GI.

From Variety 's contemporary review of the film: "The photographic record of Nazi atrocities which Samuel Fuller has incorporated in Verboten! is timeless horror and piercing documentation of the low point in modern history. Fuller wrote, produced and directed the film and has created an interesting picture of a German city in the first days of occupation following World War II. ... Fuller's production is excellent, having the look and feel of a film more costly than it likely was. His direction is good, often excellent, and his cast responds adeptly. Best is forceful in his determination to love in the days when it, as so many things, was forbidden. Cummings is very good throughout, growing steadily with the film coming across expertly in the final sequences. The late Tom Pittmann has introductory billing in the film, and, as the leader of the wild youth, showed fine style and sound talent."
