Sinekatalog’s take
Robert Siodmak's drama follows two women who fight over a baby in the ruins and tenements of postwar Berlin. Curd Jürgens and Maria Schell star in a gritty, melodramatic and grim study of poverty and desperate motherhood.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
