	Movies - Mother Night

Mother Night is a 1996 film based on the book by Kurt Vonnegut of the same name.

Nick Nolte plays Howard W. Campbell Jr., an American by birth who moves to Germany during the interwar period. His parents move back to the U.S. but he chooses to remain behind and pursue a career as a playwright. During the build-up to WWII, he is approached by an American intelligence agent who recruits him to pass coded intelligence in propaganda broadcasts. Sheryl Lee stars as his wife, Helga Noth, and then again later in the film as Helga's younger sister, Resi. Alan Arkin also stars as Campbell's neighbor in post-war New York City, who by pure coincidence turns out to be a Soviet intelligence agent.

The film is narrated by Campbell as he sits in a jail cell in Israel, waiting to stand trial for war crimes.
