Night of the Generals: A “thriller” (though extremely mild) about the murder of a Polish prostitute that was committed by one of 3 German generals during World War 2, played by Donald Pleasance, Charles Gray, and Peter O’Toole. Omar Shariff, in heavy make-up, plays a major pursuing the killer across Europe, his hunt for the killer climaxing in conjunction with the failed assassination attempt of Adolf Hitler. Of course, with that list of suspects there is no surprise at the “reveal” of who the murderer is as he is easily the most manic of the three actors to begin with. Flat, boring, and overlong (almost 2 ½ hours), there is very little thrilling about this “thriller”. Woodchuck sez, “Skip it.”
