    @ mctinroseland

    I share your enthusiasm for James Mason, a definite crush when I was a young person, therefore it was somewhat shocking to discover much later that Gen.Erwin Rommel was not the nice person Mason with his very sophisticated personality portrayed.

    The name of the film that you are looking for happens to be:

    The Desert Fox
