30 Dec The Big Lift
The Big Lift, WWII Movie starring Montgomery Clift
(1950) Filmed in Berlin right after the war. I am sure that in 1950 everyone back home was interested in seeing what the bombed out city looked like.
When the Russians tried to prevent food and supplies from reaching Berlin with the hopes that they could gain complete control of the city, the Allies flew in necessary provisions daily. This lasted for nearly a year.
Except for the two main actors, Montgomery Clift and Paul Douglas, all the military personnel roles were played by members of the Armed Forces on duty in Germany.
