The Enemy General is a 1960 American drama war film directed by George Sherman and starring Van Johnson.[1][2]

The film was shot on location in Europe.[2]

Plot[edit]

The setting is World War II. An Office of Strategic Services agent, working with the French Resistance, ambushes a Nazi convoy with a high-ranking general, who escapes. Later they take him from a Nazi prison and smuggle him to England.

Cast[edit]

Novelization[edit]

Anovelization of the screenplay was issued by Monarch Books in May 1960—about two months in advance of the film's release (as was often customary in the era). The by-line was given as "Dan Pepper & Max Gareth". Both names were pseudonyms. "Dan Pepper", also credited as co-screenwriter, was a joint pseudonym for Lou Morheim (who would become a noted screenwriter and producer under his own name) and American novelist Stuart James. [citation needed]
