36 Hours is a 1965 World War II thriller film directed by George Seaton and starring James Garner, Rod Taylor, and Eva Marie Saint. It was loosely adapted from "Beware of the Dog", a short story by Roald Dahl.Just prior to D-Day, the Germans drug and capture Major Jefferson Pike (Garner), a U.S. intelligence officer sent on a mission to Lisbon. They know that he's been briefed on the planned time and place of the invasion. How to make him talk freely?When Pike awakens, he is told that he has lost all memory of the last six years. That's right, Major, it's 1950. Yes, of course the Allies won the war back in 1944. You are in a U.S. military hospital in Occupied Germany where we're treating your most recent bout of amnesia. Now, as part of your therapy, tell us the last thing you remember... | |

| 36 Hours (1965) / int_1e2af48 | comment |
Trapped in Villainy: Anna Hedler, a concentration camp prisoner forced to help deceive foreign agents. Possibly Gerber also, since he first used his technique to help traumatized soldiers, but then was ordered into this instead. | |

Rape as Backstory | |
| 36 Hours (1965) / int_524f94d3 | comment |
Rape as Backstory: Anna Helder was "used" by German soldiers and officers while in the concentration camps, which apparently traumatized her to the point that she's largely unable to feel. There is a hint at the end that she's regaining this ability at last though. | |

All Germans Are Nazis | |
| 36 Hours (1965) / int_7089d02e | comment |
All Germans Are Nazis: Averted. Gerber expresses distaste for the SS, was forced to help trick foreign agents into giving information with the amnesia ploy, then helps Pike and Hedler escape near the end. He tries to stop Schack when he's after them, but fails. Then there is the German smuggling ring who help people escape into Switzerland, one of whom roundly mocks Adolf Hitler. Hedler, naturally, is also no Nazi, having been sent to a concentration camp. The SS officer Schack is especially suspicious when Gerber's story of how the Allies won involves the German generals overthrowing Hitler with a coup, killing him, and the SS (along with its leader Himmler) then being purged, wondering acidly if it's "wish fulfillment".note The July 20th plotters actually tried this, as dramatized in Valkyrie, but sadly it didn't work. This might suggest Gerber is one of them. | |

The Film of the Book | |
| 36 Hours (1965) / int_b9af5ef3 | comment |
The Film of the Book: As noted, the film was based on Roald Dahl's short story "Beware of the Dog". The movie keeps the basic premise of an Allied soldier being held in a hospital by deceptive Germans, but changes pretty much everything else.note For example, the protagonist of "Beware of the Dog" is an RAF pilot who's lost a leg, and the Germans tell him he's back in England (specifically Brighton) when he's actually in Vichy France. | |
