Brass Target

On location, Lake Geneva, for the introduction of Max Von Sydow as assassin Shelley, found by crooked American officer McCauley (Patrick McGoohan), looking to have General Patton (George Kennedy, photo) knocked off before he finds out who stole the Allied gold shipment, in Brass Target, 1978.

Profane especially for the period but full marks to George Kennedy, in high octane portrayal of General George Patton, in post-War Germany, tangling with a fictional Russian general (Reinhold Olszewski) over military justice and stolen Allied gold, in Brass Target, 1978.

John Cassavetes as grizzled Major Joe DeLucca in post-War Germany, inquiring about stolen Allied gold meets unhinged alcoholic fixer Col. McCauley (Patrick McGoohan), who has acquired his Polish ex-girlfriend Mara (Sophia Loren), her first scene, in Brass Target, 1978.

Nice scene though maybe too sentimental for either of these actors, certainly by 1978, as American Major DeLucca (John Casavettes), investigating corruption in post-War Germany, tries to waylay Polish ex-girlfriend Mara (Sophia Loren), departing Frankfurt, in Brass Target.
