Zeppelin
The Great War's most explosive moment!
The outbreak of World War I places Scots officer Geoffrey Richter-Douglas in an uncomfortable position. Although his allegiance is to Britain, his mother was from an aristocratic Bavarian family, and he spent his summers in Germany as a child. When Geoffrey is approached by a German spy who offers him a chance to defect, he reports the incident to his superiors, but instead of arresting the spy they suggest that he accept her offer--and become an Allied agent. In Germany, among old friends, Geoffrey discovers that loyalty is more complicated than he expected, especially when he finds himself aboard the maiden voyage of a powerful new prototype Zeppelin, headed for Scotland on a secret mission that could decide the outcome of the war.

Aside from a passing nod to "Murder on the Orient Express" (1974), I always struggle to find any reason why Michael York ever made it as an actor. He had sort of foppish prettiness about him, but his acting style here is only marginally less rigid than the thing in the title. He plays a soldier with a famous German (Richter) lineage. The Germans want him to work for them; the British want him to work for them - so, yep - you've guessed. Once with the Bosch, he finds himself aboard this amazing airship that is capable of reaching great heights and speeds, and on a secret mission designed to destroy the heart and soul of the war-weary Brits. Can he thwart this plan despite the overwhelming superiority onboard? Sadly, there is precisely no jeopardy at all here. The film takes at least 40 minu
