Filmed in 1962 but not released in the US until 1966 (with 20 of its 108 minutes removed), Conquered City is an all-star World War II drama financed in Italy and filmed in Greece. An Athens hotel, full of refugees and expatriates of all nationalities, is captured by Allied troops in the closing days of the War. British Major Peter Whitfield has been ordered to prevent a cache of weapons hidden in the hotel from falling into the hands of renegade troops. He cannot allow himself to trust anyone–not even the most innocent-looking (or attractive) of guests.

Note: Italian language version. Looks like the movie was filmed in English at least that’s what IMDb says but I haven’t been able to find a copy with the English audio, I’m thinking that one might be lost. This print comes from a French TV broadcast which had French subtitles embedded on it, someone managed to add a black bar and covered them with English subs.
