DESCRIPTION:

Capt. Jeff Eliot (Gene Kelly) roams the tawdry dives of post-war Munich searching for a delicate young beauty named Wilhelmina (Pier Angeli), the only survivor of the family that hid him from the Nazis after his plane was shot down during the war. He wants to help her. She wants to use him to smuggle contraband into Austria. But what looks like a small-time black market scheme hides something far more sinister: a vicious, well-financed conspiracy to revive the Third Reich. Shot on location and boasting a skilled international cast, The Devil Makes Three features footage of motorcycles zooming along Hitler's sleek Autobahn and competing in a thrilling race on a frozen lake, plus a climatic showdown filmed at the Führer's mountain retreat near Berchtesgaden. Kelly is both virile action hero and shrewd detective "in a fine, restrained characterization" (Howard Thompson, The New York Times) that anchors the intrigue-laced plot.
