Hi
One of James Mason's better films. In a series of books The great Commanders Rommel stands alongside Napoleon Nelson and Robert E Lee.
Although in the film Rommel gives a sympathetic performance in the subsequent Desert Rats particularly in his scenes opposite Richard Burton when he is obviously being wound up by Burton he reverts to the more accepted role of the arrogant German officer although if I remember the film accurately he does intervene to save Burton and his men from being shot.
Regards
Arthur
