Full Plot Details

In 1942 Warsaw, a Polish prostitute is murdered in a sadistic way. Major Grau (Omar Sharif), an Agent from German Intelligence who believes in justice, is in charge of the investigation. An eyewitness saw a German General leaving the building after a scream of the victim. A further investigation shows that three Generals do not have any alibi for that night: General Tanz (Peter O'Toole), Major General Klaus Kahlenberge (Donald Pleasence), and General von Seidlitz-Gabler (Charles Gray). The three avoid direct contact with Major Grau and become potential suspects. As Major Grau gets close to them, he is promoted and sent to Paris. In 1944 Paris, this quartet is reunited, and Major Grau continues his investigation. Meanwhile, a plan for killing Adolf Hitler is plotted by his high command, a romance between Ulrike von Seidlitz-Gabler (Joanna Pettet) and Lance Corporal Kurt Hartmann (Sir Tom Courtenay) is happening and Inspector Morand (Philippe Noiret) is helping Major Grau in his investigation. The story ends in 1965, in Hamburg, with another, similar crime.

The Spectator - 6/10 by Penelope HoustonThe producer, Sam Spiegel, and director, Anatole Litvak hurl themselves at all this with rather fretful intensity, as though persuaded that out of such huffing and puffing a significant statement must emerge... it doesn't.
User Review - 10/10 by Marie PPeter O'Toole is wonderful in this. Also stars Tom Courtenay, another favourite of mine.

User Review - 10/10 by Ioana ?O'Toole and Sharif utter lines like these with absolutely straight faces in what is ostensibly about the generals' plot to assassinate Hitler.
User Review - 10/10 by Bryan-Matthew MPeter O'Toole's character in this movie was by far the most evil I've ever seen in my life.
User Review - 10/10 by Roger Rone of the most superbly shot movies of all time. a montage of top class acting. noone comes close to the performances of O'toole or Shaif
User Review - 10/10 by Jonne LA nice crime caper that centers around the Valkyrie conspiracy during WWII def see this before you go and see the Tom Cruise movie that is being filmed at the moment, if not just to see Peter O Toole and Omar Sharif in their prime
User Review - 10/10 by David SA great movie, the last 40 minutes are not to be outbid in tension. Peter O´Toole as General Tanz and Omar Sharif as Major Grau act great. Also the plot and the history are real good linked with each other
User Review - 10/10 by George CIt was a long time ago when I saw it. I will look for it again
User Review - 10/10 by David LA nice crime caper that centers around the Valkyrie conspiracy during WWII def see this before you go and see the Tom Cruise movie that is being filmed at the moment, if not just to see Peter O Toole and Omar Sharif in their prime
