Verein Turmwaechter will show a German-made movie, "Razzia," in the Fogg Large Room at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. tonight. The film is a fictionalized treatment of conditions in post-war Berlin.
"Razzia" (The Raid), made in 1947, marked the return of the German movie industry to the competitive American market. The story itself is based on documentary reports of black-market transactions in Berlin. Director Werner Klinger took his camera crew to the actual locale to shoot the picture.
The word "Razzia" is Italian for "police raid" and came into accepted usage in many European countries shortly after the war.
