Given that this is such a dull film it could be said that the title is rather ironic.The only aspect which is of interest is the fact that the character played by Jeremy Hanley is a VC.Befoe people are aware of his heroism in the war they are generally indifferent to him and his plans.When they become aware that he is a VC they suddenly take notice and he gets all sorts of propositions made to him.It is further irony that he learns that the ammunition truck that he was driving to safety when he won his medal,in fact was only carrying cameras.Whilst this film may have been topical at the time it was made,that has now faded away and left us with a rather lifeless film.
