Heavily influenced by such prewar French directors as Vigo and Carne, the film is set amongst the barge workers of the River Havel. Refreshingly free of political propaganda, the story concentrates on a romance between a bargee and a waterfront lass. (All Movie Guide)

At first glance this seems pretty unassuming, but there is much to admire here. Lovely cinematography, and great camerawork combine with three winning performances to produce something a bit special. For this to have been made during the last gasps of WW2 is quite remarkable.

Just wonderful. My favorite Käutner movie. It's fascinating that it was made during the last year of world war II.

Reminiscent of L'Atalante: two men and a woman on a boat, wonderfully expressive camerawork, and such alluring charm and beauty. It's very easy to get caught up in the gentle, appealing but slightly foreboding rhythms of the film, with so many memorable moments. Each of the three leads is flawed but lovable. If the ending is a bit hard to swallow, it doesn't matter because you really want to see these characters flourish. It's hard to believe such a lovely film was made under the Third Reich.

a little odd, but endearing enough

Little on the slow side, but it's a dual flirt which opens itself in a grand way. Naive and mature at the same time. Ends it being pretty sweet considering the darker tones it teased.

Unter den Brücken estreava há 75 anos em Locarno. Não tem como não ver esse filme e não pensar em L'Atalante e apesar da mise-en-scène majestosa e um senso de edição soberbo (a montagem em flashback da história da moça é belíssima), o filme Kautner não chega à grandiosidade ao de Vigo. BlurayRip VXT.
