The Night of the
Generals (1967)
Directed by Anatole
Litvak this film stars Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif, Tom Courtenay and
Donald Pleasence. In the post war period a man looks into the
investigation of three German generals suspected of being a serial
killer during WW2.
Considering this film
was made during the Cold War and Western backed the amount of footage
shot on location in Warsaw is impressive and gives the film a good
back drop. The plot does a good job of contrasting softening views on
Nazi Germany at the time it was made with the actions carried out
during the war. While the story is not an especially complex “who
done it” it does provide plenty of varied locations, characters and
sequences to keep you entertained.
4/5
