il generale della rovere (1959)

giovanni bertone, during the german occupation, lives by expedients. not to end up in jail, he agrees to collaborate with the ss who ask him to unmask a partisan leader. he was imprisoned in san vittore and passed off as general dellarovere, a badogliano. here he knows many partisans and slowly, becoming aware of his own wrong life, he identifies himself to such a degree in the character he interprets as to accept the firing rather than revealing everything he has learned.
