When the germans come up with a new and improved airship dirigible, british officer richter (michael york) is sent to germany to check it out. The brits think they have fooled the germans into letting richter see the new model, but the germans have planned some surprises of their own. Adding to the puzzle is the fact that the engineer behind the zeppelin was richter's professor in school. And the professor's wife (elke sommer) has some secrets of her own. Good spy intrigue. And it's loosely based on actual world war one history. Check out lz 37 in wikipedia dot org. Really good story. Good all around. Directed by etienne perier. After this, york did cabaret. And a couple years later, logan's run.
