Blue Max Interpretted
Here's another synopsis of The Blue Max for your reading enjoyment. Feel free to use the "search and replace" feature of your browser.
Low-born Bruno Stachel (George Peppard) transfers from the German infantry to the air corps, and finds that he is the only commoner in his squadron. Experienced pilot Willi von Klugermann (Jeremy Kemp) takes a liking to him, despite Stachel's disdain for the chivalric rules of combat. Their competition becomes keen when both vie for the attentions of Willi's aunt - Countess Kaeti (Ursula Andress), the notorious wife of General Count von Klugermann (James Mason). The General actually encourages Kaeti's philandering, and sees in Stachel a propaganda poster boy for the average German, to help keep the country away from Bolshevism. Although Stachel's ruthlessness disgusts his superior Otto Heidemann (Karl Michael Vogler), nothing can keep the pilot's career from soaring.
