What happens

Betrayed is a 1954 American Eastmancolor war drama film starring Clark Gable, Lana Turner, Victor Mature, and Louis Calhern. Directed by Gottfried Reinhardt, the film's screenplay was by Ronald Millar and George Froeschel, its musical score was by Walter Goehr and Bronislau Kaper, and cinematography was by Freddie Young. The picture, Gable's last for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, was filmed on location in the Netherlands and England, and was based on the story of turncoat Dutch resistance leader Christiaan Lindemans, also known as "King Kong". The supporting cast features O. E. Hasse, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Ian Carmichael, Niall MacGinnis, and Theodore Bikel. Betrayed was the fourth and final movie in which Gable played opposite Turner, and their third pairing set during World War II. Diana Coupland provided Turner's singing voice in the song "Johnny Come Home". Betrayed was spoofed in the film Top Secret! (1984). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
