Sergeant Steiner (1979)
(Breakthrough)
Country: GER
Technical: col/scope 111m
Director: Andrew V. McLaglen
Cast: Richard Burton, Robert Mitchum, Curt Jurgens, Rod Steiger, Helmut Griem (as Stransky), Michael Parks
Synopsis:
Steiner is transferred to France, and when the Allied invasion comes finds himself again under Stransky's command. One of the Generals in the July plot then persuades him to cooperate in a plan to surrender to the advancing Americans.
Review:
McLaglen is the wrong director for this ill-advised sequel to Cross of Iron, with Steiner involved in a disloyal plot to end the war; a betrayal of his character in itself, in a way, and in another Burton is miscast as a prole sergeant. The even more bizarre part is that it was made with German money.
