UK/USA
Feature Film
Director: Brian G. Hutton
Writer: Alistair MacLean
Cinematographer: Arthur Ibbetson
Composer: Ron Goodwin
Cast: Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood, Mary Ure, Patrick Wymark, Michael Hordern, Anton Diffring, Ferdy Mayne, Derren Nesbitt, Victor Beaumont, Ingrid Pitt
This amusing adaptation of MacLean’s novel, following a crack team of soldiers as they parachute into Nazi territory in order to rescue a high ranking British officer, is, despite often feeling rather silly and quite empty, and having a most bizarre and out-of-place score, a constantly surprising and camply entertaining action film.
