The allies planted a fake medical report that keeps the Nazis from torturing him. Ed Harris stars as a double agent brought in by the Nazis to trick Stoltz into revealing the plans. Max von Sydow and Patrick Stewart are also featured. I never heard of this movie before now. TCM ran a bunch of D-Day movies for the anniversary of D-Day and this one looked interesting. I watched mainly for the cast but It held my interest well enough. The Cincinnati Kid (TCM) 1965 movie starring Steve McQueen as a young card player who goes up against a seasoned pro played by Edward G. Robinson in a high stakes game of poker. It was an OK movie but the ending seemed very abrupt.
