few people know about this film and it have never receive the critical attention it deserve . but do watch it . you would not be let down . it hold your attention from begin to end . i also do not think there be a film with so many actor cast against type . you could never imagine omar sharif and gordon jackson a german officer . john gregson never live down his genevieve image and no shame in that and so it be actually quite shock to see him a a nazi assisting in plan for liquidate a ghetto ( i have order three time a many flame thrower just to be on the safe side ) . maybe it not as realistic a band of brother or schindler list but it be make 40 year ago . i wonder though why harry andrew wasn not credit . be it because he be usually on the a british officer .
