Customer Reviews of Town Without Pity
Was justice truly served? "Town Without Pity", a U.S.-German collaboration is a tragic tale of the rape of a young teenaged girl by four U.S. soldiers stationed in post-war Germany. The crime is quickly uncovered and the soldiers are put on trial for court martial. <

>Kirk Douglas, playing defense attorney Major Steve Garrett has been commissioned to defend the soldiers. A crime of this magnitude could warrant the death penalty. Prosecuting attorney E.G. Marshall, in a familiar role is pushing for exactly that outcome. Poignantly, Douglas while compelled to defend his clients, feels remorse when confronted by the realization that he will have to humiliate the victim, played by 16 year old and future Mrs. Tony Curtis, Christine Kauffman during cross examination to save their lives. He begs the girl's father a proud and stubborn man to spare his daughter from this fate but is rebuffed. <

>The film takes us through the unfortunate trial and the lack of compassion for the victim as show by the townsfolk. This movie proves that there can be no happy ending in a story of this nature. <

>Included in the cast as the accused soldiers were veteran actor Richard Jaeckel, Frank Sutton (Sgt. Carter in Gomer Pyle) and a young looking and now accused murderer Robert Blake.

"Town Without Pity" Memorable movie
I saw "Town Without Pity" as a child. It made a very strong impression on me. So strong that I bought my own copy over thirty years later. It is a moving story.
