A fairly decent WW2 jungle adventure story, with an all-star British cast (and added Yank Cliff Robertson) on a mission to tackle the Japanese in an occupied island. I felt this was very similar to a wave of similarly-set '50s pictures like YESTERDAY'S ENEMY and every bit as dark, with broken characters and perverse psychology in abundance. Michael Caine plays a tougher character than usual and the supporting cast members including Ian Bannen, Ronald Fraser and Denholm Elliott all welcome the opportunity to get their teeth into characters of similarly dark shades.
