A wonderful film with fantastic acting. Also a good story of loyalty to friends. Of course that would be very difficult in Nazi Germany. The dancing was fabulous, the acting strong, the history important. Mr. Whaley did a hell of a job as did Robert Sean Leonard. It's a film that is difficult to describe for me. I bought the film and still watch it every so often. I know this is a rambling review. Sorry. There's just something about this film that always grabs hold of my heart.
