Another talk was given in Russian, to a group of Russian refugees for whom a radio station is being set up in Munich to beam its broadcasts to the peoples of Russia.

It also has some effective-on-the-spot scenes filmed along the Munich-Salzburg Autobahn and at Hitler's bombed-out Adlerhorst at Berchtesgaden. Gene Kelly, without his dancing shoes, turns out to be a relaxed, likable actor, and wide-eyed Pier Angeli brings an appealing, girlish charm to the role of the Fraulein. But The Devil Makes Three makes little more than another run-of-the-movie-mill thriller out of its theme...
