Another reason to see "Night of The Generals"...

This obscure 1965 movie tried to unite the casts of the blockbuster Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago. It's subject matter may have been a little too advanced for the times...serial sex crimes...but there are some spectacular cars in it.

The Mercedes staff car is in several scenes where "Rommel" played by Christopher Plummer, is shot by a strafing aircraft. There's also a beautiful Maybach Zeppelin convertible sedan (body by Spohn?) that is Peter O'Toole's staff car (he plays a Nazi general). While on leave in Paris, he and adjudant Tom Courtney(sp) spend a lot of time in an Hispano-Suiza sedan de ville.
