Watch George Peppard in The Blue Max in its entirety right here, right now on Fancast.
George Peppard is a fighter pilot during World War I. That should be enough to make you want to watch The Blue Max already, but we'll tell you more anyway.
George Peppard is a German fighter pilot named Bruno Stachel, who is determined to win the Blue Max - the highest honour in aviation (it's a British film, so we'll add the 'u' to honor). To do so, he must shoot down 20 enemy aircrafts. His quest puts him at odds with some of his fellow soldiers, who believe he cares more about earning the medal than protecting his allies and winning the war. When General Von Klugermann (James Mason) meets Stachel, he decides the man has potential in propaganda, and begins to exploit his exploits. Even Stachel's affair with Von Klugermann's wife Kaeti (Ursula Andress) doesn't derail his agenda.
Americans and British folk playing Germans without even bothering to attempt an accent is something that worked well in 1966 and likely won't work well in 2009 when Valkyrie is released, so enjoy it now. It's George Peppard being a ruthless badass. That's always worth watching.
