I first saw this film many years ago and was impressed even then with the realism and gritty nature it had given its age and the comparable output of the era.
British film fans will relish in an early role of Sid James proving he can act and plays the grizzled character very well indeed. Laurence Harvey excels as the leading character and the rest of the cast works extremely well indeed. There is very little jingoism in the film and its all the better for it and well worth a watch whenever its shown on TV.
Damn good to watch and based on real events of the time and exploits of the brave men of all sides who fought in the war.
