oh boy . film like this really bother me . if this movie be suppose to close to truth and then i assume that rommel know hitler for a time before wwii start . in the movie and rommel mention how hitler have change from before . well i can not imagine that rommel wouldn not have know something about hitler government policy so rommel must share some guilt for the german atrocity . with that in mind and i have a problem with a movie that make rommel life at the end a tragic one . he make his choice and we have to feel bad for him . i can not do it . i also can not buy the theory that if the more competent general be allow to fight the war and the ally would have have more trouble win it . if more competent people be in charge and wwii may never have start in the first place . from a movie watch aspect and the film jump from place to place and most of the time seem like a history special with big name actor play the historical role . leo g. carroll have a couple of good scene with james mason and i like the fact that everyone speak english without the ridiculous accent . but other than that not very essential .
