General questions

When I was a kid in the 60's, I saw a movie I swear starred Peter Falk as an American impersonating a German officer in WW2. At the end of the movie, Falk is sitting in an opera house next to a beautiful actress in a box seat. German soldiers enter the opera house and Falk knows he is about to be arrested, and gently puts his hand over the actress' hand. Was this a Peter Falk movie? And what the heck is the name of this movie?

Answer: Whoever it was, it wasn't Peter Falk. He made three World War II movies: Italiano Brava Gente (1964), Anzio (1968), and Castle Keep (1969). He did make a German film, Wings of Desire (1987), a movie about two angels observing people making a movie about World War II.

Thank you. I'll keep looking (and wondering who that actor was).
