Prostitutes Remagen,

Well, I am happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised Prostitutes Remagen I really liked the film and appreciated how it tried to be different--and I truly value a film that does that. Additionally, it was intricately written and kept my attention Prostitutes Remagen. Plus, even though the identity of the murderer wasn't hard to guess, how they handled it past this discovery impressed me--since there was still much more to the film beyond this point.

The film is rather surreal because although there have been some savage murders of prostitutes, the idea that any soldier within the German army would have even cared if one of their generals was a psychotic killer is far-fetched. After all, weren't the Germans wiping out innocents by the Prostitutes Remagen what should a few prostitutes matter? Well, to the Major played by an odd choice to play a German--Omar Sharifhis job was to be a military policeman and he was determined to see it through--even if it meant risking his life to prosecute a general.

Prostitutes Remagen the night of the first murder he investigated, three generals could have done it because none of the three had alibis. Now the surreal nature of this entire investigation is definitely the point Prostitutes Remagen this film.

Of Prostitutes Remagen it was absurd that Sharif should care and his looking for this murderer amid the height of the war at one point in the middle of a plot Prostitutes Remagen kill Prostitutes Remagen. And, when the film takes a surprise turn, the action soon switches to 21 years later--when the murder investigation is opened up Prostitutes Remagen again.

The biggest star of the film is the writing. All other aspects of the film were good as well, though I must admit that Peter O'Toole's routine in the art museum seemed an awful lot like how he played Lawrence of Arabia years earlier and some Prostitutes Remagen think this Prostitutes Remagen a tad overplayed. Still, a truly unique and memorable film--one that oddly seems to have been Prostitutes Remagen.

Warsaw, December When a prostitute is savagely murdered, German Intelligence Officer Major Grau is called to investigate. An eyewitness who caught Prostitutes Remagen glimpse of the perpetrator through a crack in a door, reveals that the killer wore grey Prostitutes Remagen with a red stripe down the side - Prostitutes Remagen uniform of a Wehrmact General.

Grau quickly narrows the suspects down to three men whose whereabouts on the night in question cannot be accounted for. Having been aware of this film for many years, I finally managed to catch a rare screening of it last night on British TV. The film Prostitutes Remagen starts quite promisingly as a murder mystery and maintains the interest while based in Warsaw.

It features Prostitutes Remagen impressive sequence involving the flushing out of Polish Resistance fighters in the city. An interesting side-note at this point is that the armour used here appeared to be either real Tiger tanks, or pretty good replicas.

This attention to detail was quite unusual for a film made in However, once the scene shifts to Prostitutes Remagen in the summer ofthe film starts to lose focus, meandering off on sub-plots about the Hitler assassination conspiracy and Tom Courtenay's character's love life. For long stretches Omar Sharif disappears altogether and the momentum is lost.

Another distraction is the way the film jumps forward at intervals to the '60's, where we find Philip Noiret's Policeman interviewing some of the secondary characters in an attempt to solve the mystery. But by this point the killer's identity has become all too clear. The film is by no means a total waste. It is in part an interesting study of German senior officers.

Prostitutes Remagen acting is good throughout, and to see stalwarts of British war films like Harry Andrews and John Gregson playing Germans is both curious and original. The script is literate, production design handsome, Prostitutes Remagen the 1.

But overall I was left feeling that with tighter handling regarding the killer's identity, and more emphasis on the central plot, the film could have been a far more satisfying whole. Great 60s war mystery TheRealArbiter 13 August I remember seeing this film in the theater when I was a kid and being fascinated by it. Do not over analyze it. Just enjoy Peter O'Toole as the nutcase Tanz, Donald Prostitutes Remagen as the General-with-a-conscience, and especially Omar Sharif as the dogged, honorable military investigator.

Magnificent parable in war story's skin Vincentiu 27 January A magnificent parable in war story's skin. Peter O'Toole Prostitutes Remagen a splendid general Prostitutes Remagen, each word and each gesture are elements of delicate miniature. At first view- a film about sadistic crimes and justice. About rules in mad times for an elite out of any Prostitutes Remagen.

Then- ambiguous fight between absolute power and conscience of a man for who a prostitute is not anonymous object but a human been.

I saw this film at different ages. Always it was pretext of a new discover of real world because the images, the Tanz facial expression, the fascination for a painting, the immoral orders or the others like pathetic toys Prostitutes Remagen not elements of Nazi period or accidents. In some aspects, it is a profound story about Shoah and about Gulag. About a huge power who transforms men and lives in ash bread. About the limits of fear and respect for universal values.

About the cruel show of many slices of silence. Tom Prostitutes Remagen It Prostitutes Remagen a touching movie and the art of Omar Shariff is brilliant.

At first sight, in a Reich without moral limits, the desire to realize justice is bizarre. And yet, major Grau is not Don Quixote. He Prostitutes Remagen trace of normality in a amorphous Prostitutes Remagen for who tomorrow is more important than today. A murder is Prostitutes Remagen murder and the name of victim is not important.

The killer is essential not like revenge piece or problem of conscience but like measure to stop hecatombs. The corpse of prostitute or his cry and the fire of Warsaw are faces of same coin.

So, the authority of a German General or the steps of "Walkiria" are only details in the exploration of deep evil. Other interesting aspect is the music of film. For many movies, the music is a Prostitutes Remagen who gives power to images.

User Reviews

In this case is the soul of film's action. Tom Courtenay and Philippe Noiret are other two powerful presences. An anxious piece in an ambiguous game, saved by the cynicism of puppeteer and French inspector who discovers the corpse of truth. The survivors after a complex nightmare. The Prostitutes Remagen of the Generals is a s favorite of mine, even if it is just for the talent and the cinematography.

Alas, today, because of a few production errors, as it stands, this one is the answer to the trivia question: "What film reunited 'Lawrence of Arabia' co-stars Peter Prostitutes Remagen and Omar Sharif? The setting of Warsaw showed these guys were bad Germans, and few movies are set in World War II Prostitutes Remagen, even though it is as easy as taking a back lot and making it look further run down.

Involving some of the Generals in the actual July plot to kill Hitler - hence the name "The Night of the Generals" - gives the film depth but pads it Prostitutes Remagen about half Prostitutes Remagen hour. The "who done it" in wartime was a great plot touch.

Prostitutes Remagen color, the psychology used with O'Toole's character of General Tanz gives the movie a touch of learned Prostitutes Remagen. And murdering prostitutes gave it as close to SEX, boobs and legs as could be done inwhen the film was lensed.

It was as if Holmes were torn apart by the Baskerville hounds on the moors. Sharif as Grau was everyman. He is even Prostitutes Remagen as a German pressed into wartime service because he Prostitutes Remagen a policeman in civilian life and was needed for the war effort. Prostitutes Remagen loves the detective cop. But Prostitutes Remagen simply, dispassionately guns him down. It is a cheap shock for the audience, but the act destroys the one person the viewer identified with.

I mean there may have been a few fellows in Rio or Caracas who were pulling for the Generals, but those guys were not the money paying target audience. Spend two hours building a character and then gun him down, and the audience will hate the movie.

Two prostitutes are assassinated (in Poland and in France respectively) by a of 'Battle Of The Bulge', 'The Bridge At Remagen' and even 'Patton'. Chief yakubBEFORE (PROSTITUTION) AND LYBIA IT WASN'T MY INTENTION TO DO THE PROSTITUTION WORK Mmvh e — at VVR - Verkehrs-Verlag GmbH Remagen.

They did, and Prostitutes Remagen still do. Well, a guy who was an enlisted man in Vietnam said they showed this movie to the soldiers and it was sort of popular for the girls,the sex killing and the Prostitutes Remagen a few generals sort of get it. This could be remade today. Throw out the bit about killing Hitler, make it a straight psycho general with common hang ups and keep Grau ALIVE until after the Prostitutes Remagen when he brings justice to Tanz, and it would work.

It could even work with some sort of anti moral twist ending, such as Grau killing Tanz and Prostitutes Remagen the cycle Prostitutes Remagen violence open. So, great film if you like s talent and faux psychology.

When a prostitute is murdered, an Interpol detective, Morand Noiret connects to two similar murders that occurred during WW II, some 25 years earlier, and goes Prostitutes Remagen the killer. When the initial murder of a prostitute occurred in occupied Poland inMajor Grau Sharif who heads up the investigation, learns from a witness that the killer was a general - the witness saw a red stripe on his pants.

Most of the story is told in flashback, with Morand going to people who have knowledge in the earlier cases and gathering their recollections.

A truly excellent film with a super cast. The film ties in with "Valkyrie" and other films that deal with the attempted assassination of Hitler, as Prostitutes Remagen Valkyrie project is a minor plot in the story. My only criticism would be Prostitutes Remagen, having seen a documentary with the real von Stauffenberg, who was handsomer than Prostitutes Remagen movie stars, the casting of von Stauffenberg in this was decidedly Prostitutes Remagen Peter O'Toole gives a bizarre performance, which is perfectly in line with the character he's playing, Tanz, an inhumane and demanding general with a glazed look.

He's marvelous. Sharif is another standout as Grau. Joanna Pettet is lovely as the daughter of Seidlitz-Gabler, Ulrike, who becomes involved with Prostitutes Remagen soldier later assigned to escort Tanz around Paris. As Rommel, Christopher Plummer has very little to do but he's always effective. Very compelling and exciting film, highly recommended. It has a very clever devilishly clever theme - when is a murder considered heinous?

The plot is basically three levels or intertwined murder. The crimes are being investigated by Major Grau Omar Sharifwho is as determined to solve this case as Inspector Javert was to capture Jean Valjean a century earlier. Now, one can make a general statement and it has been seriously made that warfare is organized killing and murder and is no different from Jack the Ripper's activities which resembles the activities of the prostitute murderer here.

Yet while abhorring or supposedly abhorring the Rippers, Christies, Mansons, etc. Rommel, for example, by his eleventh hour switch to support the Stauffenburg bomb plot, was technically committing treason - and was forced to commit suicide to protect his family from Hitler's full anger.

But today, "the Desert Fox" is one of the few Axis generals to be regarded as great by both sides for his abilities, and a hero by both sides for his trying to get rid of a really evil madman. Yet that Prostitutes Remagen plot actually killed two others Prostitutes Remagen the bunker with Hitler who were closer to the bomb itself.

Doesn't that even if we Prostitutes Remagen want to think it make Rommel an accessory to two murders? Rommel is no more blamed for the deaths of Allied and Axis soldiers in his battles in North Africa than say George Washington and Lord Cornwallis Prostitutes Remagen blamed for deaths at Yorktown. Yet their Prostitutes Remagen and orders set things up for such deaths - but we tend to ignore these. If people are blamed for wars it is the civilians or governments heads who are usually blamed.

And what happens with Prostitutes Remagen that are government policy at the time. The issue is still cropping up in the U. With the Nazis, you have the Holacaust and various battleground horrors i. Are the soldiers involved in such activities true criminals or are they Prostitutes Remagen "doing Prostitutes Remagen duty". The answer depends on whether the country involved is willing to cover-up for them, and also Prostitutes Remagen in the war.

Don't forget, we live in a post- Nazi defeat world. Had Hitler won, the war Prostitutes Remagen would have included Churchill, F. Survivors in Nazi controlled Europe Prostitutes Remagen Jews or Slavs or Gypsies, or Communists or enemies of the Nazis would have barely heard of the death camps and the Holacaust. Here Major Grau is determined to find which of his three Prostitutes Remagen is the murderer of the prostitutes. He has followed them across Europe. Tanz is the most ideological of the generals - a favorite of the Fuhrer.

We see him destroying a section of Warsaw presumably the ghetto while being questioned by Grau. Tanz looks disdainfully at the Major and remains in his tank during the interview looking downward at the Prostitutes Remagen. Kallenburg is the most secretive and mysterious of the three suspects - and we realize he is not as cooperative as he pretends to be.

Seydlitz - Gabler is in a loveless marriage, and seems to hide behind his aristocratic lineage. Grau does get some help from a French inspector Morand Philippe Noiret when the generals turn up in Paris. Morand actually makes some headway - he finds a crime being planned. But it is the bomb plot against Hitler. Grau hears this and laughs it off calling the plotters traitors which again makes us wonder when is a crime no longer a crime and a murder what it is supposed to be.

Her parents are not thrilled by her romance with this untitled nobody. Hartmann is assigned to chauffeur Tanz around Paris while he is on vacation there.

They believe, any day is a good day to catch a murderer.

They go to one of the forbidden museums of impressionistic art there, and Tanz discovers a somewhat kindred spirit in Vincent Van Gogh's art style. In fact Tanz keeps returning to the museum day after day. Tanz's reaction to the paintings is one of the most effective moments of the movie.

In the end the case Prostitutes Remagen be solved in wartime - it requires 20 years for the solution to emerge. And although the audience does know who did it long before the conclusion the end of the film shows that the Prostitutes Remagen a sense of disgrace can be brought about by the type of killing one gets tangled with. I'm Prostitutes Remagen folks, but the premise of The Night Prostitutes Remagen the Generals was way too hard for Prostitutes Remagen to swallow. I would have hoped that Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif who were so good together in Lawrence of Arabia could have found a better joint project than this.

In my former working days at New York State Crime Victims Board, I got to learn first hand about the importance the police attach to murdered prostitutes. I did a couple of claims involving the victims of serial killer Joel Rifkin who Prostitutes Remagen you remember was the postal worker who targeted working girls.

Death certificates had to be amended to declare some of these dead women homicide victims. You don't declare them homicide victims no one has to look into Prostitutes Remagen deaths. That's how it is in peacetime America. Having a taste for sadism and homicide didn't exactly disqualify you for a lot of work in Nazi Germany. I'm not sure what Sharif was trying to prove and I can't believe his superiors didn't give him other cases.

Sharif's hunt for O'Toole is worked into the story of the bomb plot to kill Hitler after the Normandy invasion. Better they all Prostitutes Remagen this particular bus. BerlinDancer 29 June Wartime Europe - Warsaw A Polish man visiting the communal toilet in his tenement block hears the screams of a local prostitute being killed in the flat above. A few minutes later he hears footsteps coming down the stairs and he peers Prostitutes Remagen the crack in the lavatory door and is shocked to see the uniform of a German general coming down the stairs.

He reports the murder to the authorities and the investigating officer Major Grau believes him and establishes that only 3 of the German generals in Warsaw were without alibi on that Prostitutes Remagen - Generals Tanz, Kahlenberge and Gabler.

He begins his investigation but just Prostitutes Remagen he is getting close to the truth, he is transferred to Paris Prostitutes Remagen higher authority.

Der Bockerer

Two years Prostitutes Remagen in Julyanother prostitute is murdered and Major Grau establishes that once again all 3 generals - Tanz, Kahlenberge and Gabler are all in Paris on the Prostitutes Remagen of the murder. The hunt for the killer is on An excellent murder mystery full of intrigue and suspense set against the background of wartime Europe, The Night Of The Generals is one of few movies incorporating historical fact with fiction and succeeding admirably.

As well as the fictional murder storyline, readers will be treated to the cleansing of the Prostitutes Remagen in the Warsaw ghetto and the infamous July bomb plot to kill Hitler which are both incorporated into the story.

I have to admit to having high hopes for "Night of Prostitutes Remagen Generals. Alas, my expectations were only half met. The film suffers from a rather clumsy narrative as it keeps shifting from Prostitutes Remagen Second World War to what was then modern day I found the constant shift in emphasis to be irksome as the film didn't seem to know which setting it was focusing on.

In addition, the story about a German officer who investigates the murder of a prostitute in Nazi occupied Poland, took a backseat to what was really a general look at army life amongst the Nazis. Peter O' Toole doesn't really take centre stage as he should have done. He is out of the film for many minutes at a time and that disappointed me.

The same applies to Omar Sharif as the Prostitutes Remagen investigating the murder. Prostitutes Remagen, the film does maintain my attention and interest, thanks to a brilliant supporting cast. Peter O' Toole - when he is in the film - gives Prostitutes Remagen outstanding performance as the cold and ruthless killer in "Night of the Generals. Not the classic I was expecting but still good.

I saw this movie in the year of its release. There are no weak performances in this film and I consider the story line to be sound throughout. The plot against Hitler's life - which is a well known historical fact, in no way detracts from the murder mystery at hand. The musical score associated with the film, composed by Maurice Jarre, is stirring and memorable. After more that 30 years, I still remember the haunting musical theme very clearly.

The Night of the Generals is a terrific murder mystery. I hope that I will have an opportunity to view this picture again in the future.

Sadly, it appears that it is now difficult to find. Omar Sharif is Prostitutes Remagen in this film. The fact is that the film needs to Prostitutes Remagen restored to its widescreen version and released on DVD. The acting is fantastic throughout and the locations are perfect. The point I wanted also to make is that, unlike your "factual errors" Prostitutes Remagen were in fact several Regular German Army units and soldiers who were Prostitutes Remagen brought into the Waffen SS.

Several of the foreign volunteer units were brought into the SS as well. There were foreign volunteer units that were in the Leningrad area in and later Prostitutes Remagen Waffen SS in whole or in part.

The movie does a great job of making almost perfect copies of German material and when it gets to France even has a shot of tanks made up to look very much like Panthers, in addition to the many kubelwagons and schwimwaggons. Grau is one of the best characters in cinema and Prostitutes Remagen should have had more screen time.
