Women from Tokyo

'Kanal' (1957) About an escape through the Warsaw sewers during the 1944 uprising. Many of the cast and crew had taken part in the uprising. I guess it's as about as real as it gets.
You can find the whole movie on Youtube.

That movie was very good. However, it was over-dramatic in some parts. I just got into Korean movies. My friend has a collection of them and now I'm hooked!

A Fish Called Wanda.
