Based on the 1963 novel by Werner Joerg Luedecke, and one of the most underrated war films of the 1960s, about Robert Crain (Brando), a German living in India during World War II, who is blackmailed by Colonel Statter (Howard) to impersonate an SS officer onboard a cargo ship, with Captain Mueller (Brynner) in charge, leaving Japan for Germany.
