Synopsis
Italie, été 1943. Le fascisme s'effondre, Mussolini est destitué, le Royaume change d'alliance et les Allemands envahissent le pays. Début septembre, le gouvernement italien annonce la signature d'un armistice avec les Anglo-américains. C'est pourtant le prélude à de terribles affrontements dans toute la péninsule. Depuis le début de la guerre, la comtesse Luisa, l'épouse d'un homme d'affaires décédé, a quitté Milan pour se réfugier dans sa somptueuse villa des bords du Pô. Auprès d'elle, sont réunis son fils Andrea, son neveu Carlo, dont le père est un dignitaire fasciste, et un vieil ami de la famille, Ferruccio Nascimbene. Les jeunes hommes ont l'air plutôt insouciants. Carlo est toutefois le seul à saisir l'ampleur du drame national. De nombreux sans-abri arrivent des cités bombardées. Le maire du village demande à Andrea d'héberger une famille. Fasciné par la beauté de Lucia, une jeune ouvrière évacuée, ce dernier accepte d'accueillir la totalité des membres du foyer. Plus tard, en l'absence de sa mère retournée à Milan, Andrea va même cacher des soldats italiens déserteurs. Cet acte courageux suscite la sympathie de Carlo, secrètement mêlé à la Résistance, et l'amour de Lucia. Il en va tout autrement pour Ferruccio qui informe d'emblée les occupants allemands. Les soldats fuient dès lors vers la montagne en utilisant un camion dans lequel doivent prendre place Lucia, Carlo et Andrea. Au dernier moment, néanmoins, la venue de la comtesse modifie le comportement d'Andrea qui refuse de suivre ses compagnons. Retenu aux côtés de sa mère, Andrea entend au loin le crépitement des mitraillettes allemandes, signe d'une tragédie irrémédiable.Actors

In 1780, General Benedict Arnold commands the Continental Army defences at West Point, New York. Major John Bolton (Cornel Wilde), a dragoon officer assigned to counter-intelligence, intercepts and kills a British spy leaving the Storm King Tavern, and captures a letter found on the spy. He reports to Gen. Robert Howe (John McIntire), that the coded message was from the British spy calling himself "Gustavus" to "James Osborn", in care of Dr. Jonathan Odell of New York, stating that Arnold has taken command at West Point. The secret knowledge indicates that the spy is a "highly placed person". Bolton returns to the tavern, where one of his contacts, stableboy Ben Potter (Bobby Driscoll), tells him that the Tory wife of a redcoat, Mrs. Sally Cameron (Anne Francis), is travelling under a flag of truce possibly carrying information to the enemy. She catches them searching her room, where Bolton takes her safe conduct pass after verbally sparring with her. Mrs. Cameron tries to seduce Bolton to obtain its return, but he rebuffs her. A messenger arrives with a package for "Mr. Moody," but when no one by that name can be found, another traveler, Col. Winfield, offers to deliver the package. Bolton recognizes that Winfield is an imposter, and in a struggle over the package, kills him. Other American officers arrest Bolton for murder and deliver him to Howe.
