this film work for me in three different way . first and the acting be strong and with lot of star quality . second and the film work good than most a a murder mystery . but what i most liked about the film be how it deal with abstract issue a justice . there be three layer to this portrayal represent the first layer of course be the murder itself and and one of the thing that make this interesting be that although we do not know the identity of the killer and we know he be a german general . and then there be the identity of the murder victim and who be prostitute . this primary tale of murder and justice be play out against the backdrop of world war ii and with the time frame of the film include not only the war itself and but the nuremberg trial and their aftermath . finally and there be the murder of the holocaust and which also have an explicit portrayal in the film . what most appeal to me about night of the general be that it weave together these three layer of storytelling and without be heavy hand and and let the actor and their action speak for themselves . the film be definitely worthwhile .
