One of the worst WW11 movies I've ever seen.And I reckon I've seen em all. That's the greenest looking North Africa I've ever seen and the final action(considering the acting talent at hand) is utterly unconvincing, unremittingly bad visual effects and the bazooka minefield escape all seems a bit pointless as relief by the Scots is not far away.The memory of the great John Frost is so much better preserved in A Bridge Too Far..and Alan Ladd in the leading role, with the whole clichéd redemption thing going on..just phones it in.The only reason I haven't rated this film awful(1)is the work of Leo Genn..great actor/great voice...apart from that .. truly astonished at its craptacular badness...Intriguing though to see regular 50/60's Nazi Anton Diffring turning up as a British para.
