Ioved this when I saw it many years ago and have been trying to find it somewhere since so my husband could see it; I did get the book from the library for him to read but I seem to remember the movie was well-done; the book Rebecca by think Daphne DuMaurier) is used to pass coded information to the Allies (I don't remember) in an attempt to foil a Nazi attempt to capture the city of cairo; another reviewer hit the spot with his comment that it's suspenseful and exciting; the not-explicit sex scene is an atempt to find teh coded message before it eaches teh allies

If you're a David Soul fan then you should love this movie. He is HOT HOT HOT and that's all I have to say about it!

This film is unbelievably bad. I have never been a fan of David Soul and this film, he kills people for the hell of it and speaks that "Ve Have Vays Off Making You talk Accent" just as he did in the film Pentathlon with Dolf Lundgren. You have Cliff Robertson as an English Officer, speaking the Queens English and Robert Culp playing Rommel and quoting lines like "I Vill Eat Ze Blitish For Bleakfast and Ze Blitish Have Defeated Me. How can two fine actors as Cliff Robertson and Robert Culp, who are normally good, act so bad. Fortress in Cairo was far better with a low budget. This story could be remade, with English, German and Arabic actors.

This is pretty good movie if you are willing to accept: the fact that David Soul is German and a Nazi; A lesbian scene in which a heterosexual woman accepts a lesbian with a simple "don't worry" comment after which she gets in the scene; Robertson has an English (Queen's English) speaking son; No-one seems to find anyone, even though they are in-front of them. People die for no reason.Even with all of that, it is suspensful, sexy, and rather exciting.Well worth spending a few hours watching on video or on TV (however, only on encrypted channels....)
