Featured review
Sadly not Great
Unfortunately this isn't one of the best of British war films although it has some interesting elements, including early appearances of actors who would ultimately become stars at home and internationally. Stanley Baker shone brightly but briefly and Walter Gotell and Russell Hunter both would have long careers on both TV and film.
Established character actors Lesley Dwyer ( who always added to the films he was in), Ben Williams and John Blythe (a more recent addition to the register of good character actors) did their jobs. Richard (Stinker) Murdoch was already a star of stage, radio and early TV, prior to the war and essentially played himself. Hugh McDermott playing the male lead, already had years of experience in mostly 'bit' parts but wasn't at his best in this film.
The film was hampered by the poor sets and pretty poor script. A shame as the premise had some promise.
