NOTES: this German-Austrian co-production stars Martin Held (a popular star of German films in the 1950s) as the patriarch of a family which goes to live in a refugee camp that is located in a huge fortress-castle (festung). Christa Linder plays his sexy daughter. So far, this appears to have been her first screen appearance.
Thanks to Georges Freylinger for the data on this film. I will post a more detailed synopsis after I spend some time translating from the German materials he sent me.
