A British bomber is shot over German-occupied Netherlands. The crew parachutes down and struggles to escape with the help of the local resistance. The most notable aspect is its release date. It's war film released in the heart of WWII. There is the use of a real British plane and some convincing miniatures. The bomber part of the movie is a bit dry but the authenticity is quite compelling. The occupation part is compelling if a bit easier than expected. It's probably their uniforms. The soldiers do not take their uniforms off and thereby maintaining the rules of warfare. This is obviously done to show that the British fight by the rules. The men don't differentiate themselves within the group. All in all, this is a solid war film in the heart of a truly tough real world fight. As for the title, it's an example of something simple and memorable. That's why it's so often copied even as a joke.
