A terrible slog that should have been at least decent on paper. Great setting, costumes and cast (even with the questionable casting of Omar Shariff as a Nazi officer) but it clearly shows it's age in acting and cinematography style. Horrendous acting, boring plot. Good news is that it can be safely skipped. I for one would like my 2.5h back.

An intriguing whodunit murder mystery set in World War II. You're presented with 3 suspects right from the start. The case and chase span several decades, and other events from the war play a role as well. Basically every role is played by a famous actor, and they're all good. You notice it's not a film from the 2000s the way the case develops and the way the thing is resolved. If you get the chance to watch this, do it! CONS: The murder mystery is not the most breathtaking by today's standards. The characters basically just aged by putting wigs on. PROS: Good actors. Weird, uncommon story line. Interesting WWII backdrop.
