Five Graves to Cairo
Did a Woman Start the Rout of Rommel?
Directed by Billy Wilder
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A taut wartime espionage thriller built on deception and high stakes, where a British soldier's assumed identity at Nazi headquarters becomes a weapon against Rommel.
During the 1942 North African campaign, a British straggler passes as a waiter at the hotel commandeered as Erwin Rommel's headquarters. He has thoughts of assassinating Rommel but his cover may provide an even better use.
