21 Hours at Munich (1976 TV Movie)
9/10
Underrated but very influential movie
2 September 2021
Sadly underrated TV movie which shows one of most dramatic and legendary terrorist tragedies of all times ever. Munich'72massacre is a well known real story, no need to repeat it. The movie, made 4 years later is a small arty gem.

Structure and the edit of the movie is tight and straight, no 70s common loosenessness. Picture is extremely well designed, very cool 70s. The movie is clearly influenced Spielberg 'Munich".

Very interesting method is putting in tragic/comical elements together, side by . Willy Brandt is portrayed as a grotesque guy. German police's tricks look like bad jokes etc etc

Acting is especially good. William Holden as the leadinh police officer is very cool, a bit too british. But Franco Nero as head of terrorisr super.
