Solid, entertaining thriller about a plot to assassinate General Patton in the months after WWII. The eclectic cast features John Cassavetes as a reluctant officer assigned to root out and stop the plot before it happens. The trail leads to an undercover hit man with ties to the mafia. Max Von Sydow is the smart assassin who plays cat and mouse with his pursuers. Sophia Loren is the love interest of more than one man who might have her own motivations. Patrick McGoohan, Robert Vaughn and George Kennedy have interesting supporting roles. Beautifully shot on European locations including Switzerland.
