Well, Von Stauffenberg is a good character to build a movie around.

But will Hollywood ever make a movie about this woman ?

If she had been successful, it's possible that 100 million people might not have died. And Russia, Eastern Europe and China would have been spared being the victims of an evil experiment in human oppression.

Not likely, right? In Hollywood, that might kill a few sacred cows.

If Von Stauffenberg had been successful, it would have only shortened the war by some months. Hard to say what would have happened.

But if Kaplan had finished Lenin before he could consolidate his power....who knows.

Very interesting.

Another woman I'd like to see a movie about is Virginia Hall. One heckuva lady!

Yes, Hollywood most likely WILL make a film about la Kaplan and it will star Tom Cruise who may become gay just for the part, leaving in doubt the question if he will be a man playing the part of a lesbian, or a female playing the part of a gay man. Or possible both. Even diagonally transgendered and transformed, or simply a transracial transvestite.

On the topic of female assassins, how about a film about Charlotte Corday? She's one of the few heroes of mine who are French (along with Clemenceau and Sarkozy).
