What happens
The Seventh Cross is a 1944 American drama film, set in Nazi Germany, starring Spencer Tracy as a prisoner who escaped from a concentration camp. The story chronicles how he interacts with ordinary Germans and gradually sheds his cynical view of humanity. The film co-stars Hume Cronyn, who was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. It was the first film in which Cronyn appeared with his wife Jessica Tandy, and was among the first feature films directed by Fred Zinnemann; it was his first hit movie. The movie was adapted from the 1942 novel of the same name by the German refugee writer Anna Seghers. Produced in the midst of World War II, The Seventh Cross was one of the few films made during the war to deal with the existence of Nazi concentration camps. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
