i saw this movie in the year of it release . i have always be a great fan of peter otoole and his performance in the night of the general and a general tanz be amaze . there be no weak performance in this film and i consider the story line to be sound throughout . the plot against hitler life which be a well know historical fact and in no way detract from the murder mystery at hand . the musical score associate with the film and compose by maurice jarre and be stir and memorable . after more that 30 year and i still remember the haunting musical theme very clearly . the night of the general be a terrific murder mystery . i hope that i will have an opportunity to view this picture again in the future . sadly and it appear that it be now difficult to find .
