About Brass Target (Theatrical Release - March 9, 1979):
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 a mysterious refugee, John Cassavetes as Maj. Joe De Luca, George Kennedy as Patton, Robert Vaughn as the mastermind behind the plot and Max von Sydow as a cold-blooded assassin. Based on an intriguing book by Frederick Nolan, Brass Target is “a classy conspiracy thriller with one of those great blood-and-guts plots” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times).
Brass Target takes aim and hits the mark for action-packed suspense.
