Yes, it was a good movie!
I’m so glad I finally found it. It has popped into my head every now and then for more than 3 decades! I’ve looked on the internet for it several times and never came close to finidng it.
I first saw the film on TV when I was just a kid, and I never forgot it - although I clearly did not correctly remember some of the details.
Michael Moriarty was in the first four seasons of Law and Order. He was the best.
Glad you found the movie. I’ve been looking for a WWII movie about teens forced to wear the gold star (that may be the name of the movie). One said it was a sheriff’s badge like America’s western ones wore. He watched from a rooftop as his parents were taken away. He ran to join the underground. A middle-aged woman (Louise Fletcher) took him in (and seduced him, of course). Finally, he was shot by the Germans in a line-up with others still protesting.
Can anyone help locate the movie?
