A made for TV movie that is close to the book
If you have seen L'arme à l'oeil (1981), Then you will probably like this movie. However, this one was a mini-series on TV so there was not as much thought put into it as if it were a made for theater movie. Interestingly, the film was made in Tunisia.
David Soul is cast as Alex Wolff, which matches the book (ISBN: 0451163494) pretty well. Robert Culp is stretching it as General Rommel. You will have to look really hard at the credits to see that Season Hubley plays Elene Fontana. My favorite surprise was seeing Richard Gibson playing a British officer Captain Newman and speaks with a British accent. However, I remember him as Otto Flick (the Gestapo) in 'Allo 'Allo! (1982).
I can see the "R" rating, as there are plenty of risqué shots of men and women, and women and men, and women and women.
There are enough plot twists to keep your attention.
