“A handsome film…a more logical, understanding, and historically aware example of the thriller genre than we are accustomed to seeing.” – Hollis Alpert, The Saturday Review
“Within the malevolent environment of the Nazi high command…a lurid and mordant screen account of the unmasking of a general officer who likes to disembowel prostitutes…For those who like vivid melodrama, there is plenty of it here.” – Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
Anatole Litvak directs and Sam Spiegel produces The Night of the Generals (1967), an unusual World War II crime thriller about a Nazi investigation into the murder of a prostitute. Major Grau (Omar Sharif) finds himself focusing on three suspects: the Generals Tanz (Peter O’Toole), Kahlenberg (Donald Pleasence) and Seydlitz-Gabler (Charles Gray) – all three of whom, it seems, are also involved in a plot to kill Hitler. Also starring Tom Courtenay, Joanna Pettet and Philippe Noiret, shot by the great Henri Decaë and featuring a score by Maurice Jarre, available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.
