Dr. Helga Reinbeck (Maria Schell) is working as a nurse in Yugoslavia during World War II when she's taken hostage by a group of rogue fighters. The nurse at first resists helping the guerrilla soldiers, who force her to care for their sick, but soon realizes it's just as important to tend to these men as to her own people. When a German prisoner is brought to camp, he challenges her patriotism and, rattled by the charge, the nurse begins to question which side she should really be helping.

Barry Sussman Film Culture These definite shortcomings would comprise sufficient cause to damn most pictures, but The Last Bridge can- not be explained away and dismissed. Our memory lingers not upon the defects, but on so many delicate and poignant sequences. Mar 30, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
