First off, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf did NOT "collaborate" with the Nazi party, as claimed by blanche-2 ... she kept her politics entirely separate from her art, and although pressured to join the party by her father, never actively supported it, unless singing is a crime. Also, there are not "many other films" on von Braun (other than documentaries.) Sorry, blanche-2, another error.
Well-acted and entertaining and generally historically interesting. The German military officials are all played well, and the character actors do their jobs solidly. This film badly needs a DVD blu-ray remaster.
IMO, the film accurately captures the drive of some men of science who pretend they are 'pure' and above politics and claim they are not responsible of how their discoveries are used. Oppenheimer and a couple of others tried to disavow their responsibility, to their discredit.
Special mention about the great deceased Herbert Lom, who brought class and talent to anything he was in.
