Freedom Fighter (1988) TV Movie

The made-for-TV "Freedom Fighter" is set in the divided Berlin of 1961. Tony Danza plays an idealistic American GI whose sweetheart is among those stranded in East Berlin by the erection of the Wall; he vows to help as many Easterners as possible escape to the freedom of the West. Other cast members include Sid Caesar as a philosophical holocaust survivor and David McCallum as a martinet Communist military officer. The film was lensed in West Berlin, one year before the Wall was bulldozed into oblivion. The script for "Freedom Fighter" was loosely based on "The Berlin Wall", a book by Pierre Galante. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
