Else Quecke, a German actress plays Prime Minister Golda Meir in this first dramatization of the tragic events at the 1972 Munich Olympics, events that would certainly and dramatically change the trajectory of events that really live on to this day and then some. How does 12 Hours at Munich compare with Steven Spielberg's Munich (which starred Australian comedian Eric Bana), well 12 Hours at Munich had William Holden and Franco Nero for one thing, and it was more focused on the tragic even itself. Anyway, 21 Hours at Munich was released nearly 50 years ago, and the ramifications live on to this day.
