5.0 out of 5 stars They don't make them like this anymore, September 10, 2001

By	Kenneth Kimbro (Springfield, TN USA) - See all my reviews

What a pleasant surprise when I first viewed "The Seventh Cross." I thought the movie might be good, but simply "good" does not adequately describe this film. It is superb. The acting is excellent, especially for a movie of its time. But what else would you expect from Spencer Tracy, Hume Cronym, Jessica Tandy, and Agnes Morehead? Even the bit characters played their parts very well. The story is suspenseful and easily keeps your interest. Of the more than 250 movies in my private library, this is one of the best. Every movie lover should watch this film, and if you, like I, enjoy stories built around the World War II era, "The Seventh Cross" is an absolute "must see." They just don't make movies like this anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic War Film for All Ages, May 31, 1999

By A Customer

As a university film history instructor, I watch many films, most of which are soon forgotten by instructor and student alike. The Seventh Cross is one that stays with you long after the end credits have rolled. Zinnemann is not a popular director at the moment, although why he is not studied more escapes me. While a sentimental director, to be sure, he is a master of the defining moment in human beings. The Seventh Cross and the Search should be mandatory viewing for every American.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great film!, February 18, 2001

By A Customer

This is an excellent film and a must see for all Spencer Tracy fans. While the story is about seven men who escape from a concentration camp, it follows one of them (Tracy) and the people he meets who put their lives at risk in order to help him find freedom. The film also stars the pretty Signe Hasso, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy and Agnes Moorehead. This is a wonderful film that is highly recommended!
