“George Stevens has brilliantly flowed a three-hour picture through an attic in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam and etched a harrowing ordeal for survival in the brave behavior of eight Jews hiding there. Superbly detailed scenes convey the shuttered, claustrophobic nature of their hideout; and with a beautiful series of balanced close-ups of his assorted characters, he has probed the slow drama of the erosion (and the expansion) within their hearts and minds.” Bosley Crowther, The New York Times . Three Oscars among eight nominations, including Best Supporting Actress for Shelley Winters.
