If you like this film, let us know!
Add to a movie listThe Gray Nun of Belgium was a 1915 film announced for release on the Alliance Program by Dramatic Feature Films, Frank Joslyn Baum's short-lived successor to The Oz Film Manufacturing Company.
Despite the advertising in Motion Picture News announcing its release date, Katharine Rogers, in L. Frank Baum: Creator of Oz, believes that Alliance found the film inferior and refused to distribute it. The exhibition copy, which may have been a work print, may have been the only copy ever struck. Baum himself thought that exchanges and exhibitors dismissed the film "rather arbitrarily" based on the Oz Company name.
In the film, Betty Pierce played a Mother Superior who aided allied soldiers during the Great War.

En 1973, à la suite d'un coup d'état, s'installe en Uruguay une dictature militaire qui s'empresse d'emprisonner les opposants politiques. Parmi eux, trois dirigeants des Tupamaros, José Mujica dit Pepe, Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro dit Ñato et Mauricio Rosencof que le pouvoir en place considère comme des otages qui seront exécutés à la moindre action de leurs quelques compagnons d'arme restés en liberté. Incarcérés sans procès pendant douze ans, les trois hommes sont torturés, privés de tout contact, ballotés de geôles sordides en culs de basse fosse, affamés et maintenu dans un état de crasse indescriptible. Malgré cela, les trois hommes résistent en repensant aux moments heureux de leur vie, en communiquant en frappant sur les murs ou en mettant en évidence l'absurdité du régime pénitentiaire. Ils font échouer ainsi le plan des militaires de les rendre fous faute de pouvoir les tuer.

Il avait été conçu pour préparer les troupes américaines entrées en Allemagne après le débarquement à la mise en place de la dénazification. Le commentaire du film, volontiers schématique et virulent, était tout entier préoccupé par le danger que pouvaient courir les jeunes soldats au contact d’un pays dont toute l’histoire prouvait le bellicisme et l’immaturité politique : en chaque Allemand ordinaire sommeillait un ancien ou futur nazi, d’où la nécessité d’être constamment sur ses gardes et de ne pas entretenir avec la population des liens de trop grande proximité. Repris au cours de l’année 1945 par les frères Warner sous le titre Hitler Lives ?, le film remporta l’Oscar du meilleur documentaire de court métrage.
