The Night of the Generals The Night of the Generals

The murder of a prostitute in Nazi occupied Warsaw draws Wehrmacht Major Grau into an investigation where the evidence points to one of three high ranking Generals. The trail leads Grau from Warsaw to Paris and straight into the 1944 plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, of which two of the Generals are deeply involved. Grau's case goes unfinished and it is not until 1965 when the true killer is brought to justice.

    Someone is murdering prostitutes in wartime Europe, and it is probably one of three German generals. A fabulous cast play their parts brilliantly in this exciting story; you will believe in the tale told and want to find out whodunnit, and will he get away with it?

    Peter O Tool's performance is absolutely outstanding. He held the entire firlm but sadly the film was just tooo slow.
