The Captain - BLU-RAY

In the German countryside during the waning weeks of WWII, army deserter Willi Herold (Max Hubacher) was just looking for warm clothing when he came upon an abandoned staff car containing a captain's uniform and orders. Assuming the officer's identity, he found everyone he encountered unquestioningly buying in... including those at the prison camp where he ordered fellow soldiers executed for cowardice. Fact-based, often darkly comic tale co-stars Milan Peschel. 118 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack German; Subtitles English. In German with English subtitles.

A young captain heads a group known as the 'rural ones,' where they stand up for and defend the rights of peasants who have suffered injustices. He soon finds himself under the scrutiny and persecution of the local Mexican Government, which is wrought with tyranny and corruption. However, his loyalty is rewarded when the Government officials learn he has the full support and backing of the local people.

Alan Ladd (Appointment with Danger) plays the title role in this film noir about a former OSS operative who returns to Italy after the war to avenge the death of resistance worker Giulia (Wanda Hendrix), but only to find out that his InchdeceasedInch lover is not only still alive, but also the wife of a powerful Italian baron (Francis Lederer). Carey decides to stick around, hoping to flush out the traitor who'd caused the wartime deaths of several of his OSS colleagues and resistance fighters. Enhanced by the incidental musical number InchMona LisaInch, which subsequently won the 1951 Academy Award for Best Original Song and later became an all-time classic. Directed by Mitchell Leisen (No Man of Her Own).
