In World War I, a Canadian POW escapes and is hidden by a Berlin streetwalker in "Everything is Thunder" from 1936. The stars are Constance Bennett, Douglass Montgomery, and Oscar Homolka.
Hugh (Montgomery) is able to bribe a prison camp guard, but the guard turns on him and in the ensuing fight, the guard dies when he falls on his knife. Hugh escapes, but the guard's death starts a national search.
Hugh pretends to be a discharged German soldier who has a wooden leg. It's pieces of wood held together that he can remove at will. He makes it to Berlin, where he meets the beautiful Anna (Bennett), a prostitute.
When Anna, a true German, realizes who he is, she is ready to turn him in, but the two are falling in love. They decide to both escape to neutral territory.
The last half hour or so of this film is very fast-moving and exciting. The last shot is absolutely beautiful. It's not a great film, but it has good performances and a decent story.
