Somebody cooked up a good idea. And cast one of the all-time great actors, George C Scott, in the lead role.
Problem is, everything else is second-rate. The direction is flat and uninspiring. The acting is borderline hambone. The dialogue isn't half as interesting as the screenwriter thinks it is.
But other than Scott, there are two reasons to watch this movie:
Marthe Keller is a stunningly beautiful woman.
The strip club scene in Berlin, with Nahzi strippers performing in front of B&W footage of Hilter and various henchmen. I burst out laughing.
John Gielgud and Marlon Brando have basically cameo roles. They barely manage to avoid embarassing themselves.
