This is my first time ever seeing this film... at least in it's entirety. As there was bits and peices that looked familiar to me. I found I really enjoyed this one. It has great performances from several big names. That being said... it is on the long side and a little hard to sit through. There is definitely some here that could have been snipped out to make this a better easier watch. Worth the time put in to watch it... but not something I could see myself watching often.

This movie didn't keep much of my attention. It may be because of the relative poor quality of the transfer.
But what I liked about this movie is something, which most of the modern English-language movies seem not to be able to do anymore: Use actors who actually speak real German for the German roles.
