Editorial Reviews

Brass Target...suspense that reaches the highest rank! Who stole $250 million in Nazi gold? And who killed General George S. Patton to get away with it? A chilling suspense thriller, BRASS TARGET makes the convincing case that these two actual events -- the theft of the bullion and Patton's death ("officially" killed in an auto accident) -- were not coincidental! Was patton assassinated? Grisly fact or engrossing fiction? The all-star "top brass" cast includes SOPHIA LOREN as the beautiful refugee, Mara; JOHN CASSAVETES as Major Joe De Luca who is ordered to investigate a daring robbery and uncovers an even more daring murder. Academy Award winner GEORGE kENNEDY as Patton, America's most controversial commander. ROBERT VAUGHN as Col. Roberts, the mastermind behind the outrageous and ingenious plot; Emmy Award winner PATRICK McGOOHAN; and MAX VON SYDOW as Webber, Patton's coldblooded assassin. Based on an intriguing novel by Frederick Nolan, BRASS TARGET is "a classy conspiracy thriller with one of those great blood-and-guts plots." (Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun Times.) BRASS TARGET takes aim and hits the bull's eye for action-packed suspense!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, January 17, 2007

One of the better what if? movies. By the end of it you are thinking this is what really happened to Patton. As far as I know the disappearence of the Nazi Gold is a mystery that was never solved. and I find it very strange that Patton was the only person injured in the accident that eventually claimed his life. I agree with the previous poster..Bring on the DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intrique of a Genuine Hero, August 22, 2006

This review is from: Brass Target (VHS Tape)

This film is a great portrait of an authentic hero of WWII. It is tragic that someone got away with killing one of the best generals we've ever had, not to mention get away with hoards of gold bullion.
This is a riveting, bold, plausable, and moving story. Well worth seeing. Bring on a DVD version!! Better yet, re-investigate the crime.
