The screenplay was co-written by Hans Otto Meissner, the Chief of Protocol at the German Embassy in Tokyo during the war. He plays himself in the film. Official records show that Sorge was hanged as a Soviet spy on Nov. 7, 1944. As the film begins, several of the characters offer their conflicting opinions on Sorge's alleged espionage activities and reported death. The story then moves into reenactment of the events which led up to his capture. Sorge is credited with warning Moscow that the German army would invade but Japan would not. This allowed the Soviets to concentrate on their defense against the Nazi attack on Stalingrad, an event which had a great impact on the outcome of the war. The film ends much as it begins, with Meissner interviewing Sorge's associates and getting conflicting views about whether Sorge was executed, exchanged to the Soviets for Japanese prisoners or somehow managed to escape to freedom. 650 0 $a Spy films. 650 0 $a Foreign films, French. 700 1 $a Holtzman, Thomas. 700 1 $a Kishi, Keiko. 700 1 $a Meissner, Hans Otto. 700 1 $a Adorf, Mario, $d 1930- 700 1 $a Baile, Nadine. 939 $a 4132613 941 $a 1 945 $a vhs 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=88AC4CE62AFB11DEA26E6407A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b ION 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
