The Last Chance

A realistic look at the efforts of three WWII Allied officers to help a group of refugees escape across the Alps from Italy to Switzerland.

Watch for inspirational scene of refugees singing. 105m/B VHS, DVD . E.G. Morrison, John Hoy, Ray Reagan, Odeardo Mosini, Sigfrit Steiner, Emil Gerber; D: Leopold Lindtberg.
