Curd Jurgens became one of postwar European cinema’s most internationally successful leading men, often cast as commanding officers and sophisticated villains. The Spy Who Loved Me has him as a shipping magnate planning nuclear war, The Longest Day tells D-Day from both sides, The Blue Angel destroys a professor’s life over a cabaret singer, and Breakthrough follows a German officer questioning the war at Normandy. The Enemy Below and The Devil’s General round out the list.
01 A disillusioned German officer during the Normandy invasion begins to question the war he's fighting.
