although i like kurt vonnegut and i be not particularly interested in spy story and i do not know this one . the only reason i watch it be nick nolte and who be one of my favorite actor since i saw breakfast of champion and hotel rwanda . but the film bring me a pleasant surprise . of course nolte be great and but so be the plot . there be relatively little political intrigue and and much more focus on the moral question represent by read his anti semitic radio commentary with hidden secret message to american and he in fact contribute to the general attitude of german ( and and a it later turn out and american ) towards jew or hitler . which carry more weight and his service to his country or his unconscious contribution to anti semitism . the dilemma be even more prominent a these word be never speak and not even a narration . howard campbell jr. ( nolte ) be a person who learn to hide his feeling so perfectly that he doesn not open up and not even in his memoir . the inner conflict of such a character be almost impossible to portray but with the help of excellent acting and photography and this film manage . there be other point to it and such a the humor or the ironical use of romantic clichés ( like the song white christmas ) and that make it real different from average american movie . i recommend it to everyone who be bore with hollywood spy movie .
