It is unlikely to be the only Holocaust movie this year. This production was considered well meaning, but a little over the top.
WALKING WITH THE ENEMY follows the heroic lives of a world leader and a young man swept up in the horrors of WWII. Regent Horthy (Ben Kingsley), the leader of Hungary, attempts to balance war and peace in his country when he is faced with ceding power or accepting the execution of his son. The German invasion and occupation of Hungary leaves thousands of his citizens in despair. One of those citizens is Elek Cohen (Jonas Armstrong) who is separated from his family and determined to be reunited with them. Disguised as a Nazi SS officer and aided by the woman he loves, Elek discovers the truth of Hitler’s “Final Solution,” and races to save thousands of his countrymen.
The film is in limited theatrical release, but is not doing much business.
