Hans Keilson... Comedy In a Minor Key

A Dutch couple in their twenties harbors a Jewish man in his sixties during World War II.  While hiding the Jew dies of natural causes and the couple is faced with the problem of disposing the corpse.  They drag the corpse into a park at night but forget to remove an article of clothing that would link the Jew to their household..
As a result of this the couple has to go into hiding themselves and begins to experience firsthand what it is like to  be confined to a safehouse in fear of discovery.
