The Night of the Generals is a 1967 World War II mystery film directed by Anatole Litvak and produced by Sam Spiegel.

It stars Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif, Tom Courtenay, Donald Pleasence, Joanna Pettet, and Philippe Noiret.

After interviewing Seidlit-Gabler and Kahlenberge, Morand zeroes in on Tanz, who was recently released from prison after serving 20 years as a war criminal.

Both O'Toole and Sharif were hesitant to take their roles in the film, but, feeling they owed it to producer Sam Spiegel for making them international stars with Lawrence of Arabia, they did so anyway.

Bosley Crowther, in an unenthusiastic review for The New York Times, described the film as "a lurid and mordant screen account of the unmasking of a general officer who likes to disembowel prostitutes."

He went on to say:It is an engrossing exhibition that mainly gives Mr. O'Toole a chance to build up the tensions and the twitches of a sex maniac, with something of the glazed-eyed characteristic of those old vampires who used to suck blood.
