Peter Van Eyck

The Longest Day -- Allied forces prepare for a massive D-Day assault upon the beaches of Normandy during World War II.

The 1,000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse -- (1960) Peter Van Eyck, Gerte Frobe, Dawn Addams, Wolfgang Preiss. Fritz Lang's swan song with the fiendish Dr. Mabuse committing a series of murders in a Posh hotel that's filled with all kinds of strange scientific gadgets. Terrific climax with a tremendous car chase. A great film!

Night People is a story revolving around a young American GI's kidnapping in post-World War II West Berlin by Soviets. They kidnap him in hopes of exchanging him for two ex-Nazis who double-crossed the Germans during the war, and are now in hiding in West Berlin. A CIA officer stationed in West Berlin, Col. Van Dyke (Gregory Peck), is charged with handling the crisis. The American GI's father is a very powerful businessman, Charles Leatherby, who flies to West Germany to pressure for the safe release of his son. Although Van Dyke receives a great deal of pressure from Leatherby, Van Dyke is torn by the knowledge that transferring the elderly couple to the East Germans will almost surely result in their execution.

Attack is based on the play by Norman Brooks, The Fragile Fox. This searing war film is a powerful indictment against a military system which protects even its most incompetent of officers. Eddie Albert plays a posturing but hopelessly inept infantry captain, whose misdeeds are taken to heart by his officers. Jack Palance has promised to kill Albert if he makes another strategic mistake. Albert does just that when he leads Palance's troop into a bad situation in which Albert will never regret.
