The reason for this movie was to tell the truth about Rommell. The first thing it does is answer the question why Hollywood takes so many liberties with history. Is history that boring? This being a post World War 2 venture, it is obvious why the movie was made, to let people know this German General was different than the rest and was the good German. That might be so, I won't argue the point. We were refreshed to see that Jessica Tandy was at one time young. The big surprise was the role of Leo G. Carroll as General Rundstedt. His sarcasm for Hitler was great and believable coming from the man who in a few years would be the lovable Topper. Not a movie I'd want to see more than once.
