@katyu16 - No. You could not take the subway. I was a British Army officer in Berlin and I can tell you that the subways were closely guarded and watched by the Vopos for any escapers. Even in 1953, before the wall went up, the U-Bahn was closely watched by Vopos and Soviets. Westerners could get in or out but not East Berliners.
Love it. James Mason is the perfect Ivo.

He could have easily taken the subway into West Berlin in 1953. That's a fact. My mother remembers Berlin well in the 50's.

One of my favorite films, totally underrated and forgotten--overshadowed by the flashier 'Third Man'.. James Mason is SUPERB, as is the whole cast.
