The 25th Hour
Scored from 31 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 1960s (1,929 peers).
Summary
Johann Moritz (Anthony Quinn), a Romanian peasant farmer, is denounced as a Jew in 1939 by a village policeman who wants his wife Suzanna (Virna Lisi), and is marched off his land to a labour camp. From there he is passed through nearly every category wartime Europe can stamp on a man: traded across borders, put to work in Germany, then picked out by an SS race theorist as a flawless specimen of Nordic manhood and photographed for propaganda, while Suzanna is pressured at home to disown him in order to keep the farm. Henri Verneuil's English-language European co-production adapts Constantin Virgil Gheorghiu's novel and plays its hero's endless misclassification as bitter farce.
Released in 1967, The 25th Hour is a drama and war film. It was made in France.
1,928 other films from the 1960s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 31 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 31 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The 25th Hour lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1960s (1,929 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 31.
