This 1955 movie tells a version of the true story wherevy a group of Royal Marines canoed into Bordeaux harbour to sabotage German shipping, a mission from which only 2 mombers of the team returned.
The colourful widescreen image helps, because this story isn't always as exciting as is should be. Perhaps this is due to Jose Ferrer's direction. He also performs, but is miscast as a British marine. Percy Herbert, David Lodge, and Victor Maddern are, of course, present and correct, as one would expect them to be is a British war movie of tye 50s or 60s.
The dockyard explosions at the end are also typical of the era ie. very obvious miniatures.
