Ross Martin displays versatility as villainous commandant., 28 May 1999
Author: mel-78 from L.A.

When I saw this in the sixties it really made me realize the breadth of acting ability of Ross Martin. I had only seen him in roles of the comedic sidekick prior to this role. His believability as the evil commandant was astounding. This made the movie for me.
