What true story did a World War II film that Anthony Andrews star in that was the only successful assassination of a senior Nazi leader during World War II?
Operation Daybreak Operation Daybreak (also known as The Price of Freedom in the US) is a 1975 Second World War film based on the true story of Operation Anthropoid, the assassination of SS General Reinhard Heydrich in Prague. Starring Anthony Andrews, Timothy Bottoms and Martin Shaw, it was directed by Lewis Gilbert and shot mostly on location in Prague. It is adapted from the book "Seven Men at Daybreak" by Alan Burgess.
The Great Impostor The Great Impostor is a 1961 movie based on the true story of an impostor named Ferdinand Waldo Demara. The film is loosely based on Robert Crichton's 1959 biography of the same name, it stars Tony Curtis in the title role, and was directed by Robert Mulligan. The film only loosely follows Demara's real-life exploits, and is much lighter in tone than the book on which it is based.
