"Fräulein Doktor" owes most of its fame to the fact that it's still difficult to find today; if you do find it and see it, however, you may end up wondering if it was worth the trouble. The film's structure is far too episodic and the title character is far too remote to command interest the way a central character should. Neither Suzy Kendall nor Nigel Green are convincing as Germans. There is a large-scale battle segment near the end with a huge amount of extras, but Alberto Lattuada's staging is clunky - you have to struggle to make out what's going on. There is one thrilling sequence where four men are attempting to board a speeding train from underneath (!), and Ennio Morricone works wonders with the music, as usual. ** out of 4.
