Trivia
Noël Coward, a World War II wartime secret agent for the "Intrepid" spy-ring organization, once told Sir William Stephenson: "One of these days they're going to do a movie about this, and if they ever do, you insist that it be done by my old friend David Niven." Apparently, shortly before Coward's death, he told the producers of this mini-series, "Make sure Niven does it." See more »Alternate Versions

I've seen this movie on TV a number of years ago & have been trying (unsuccessfully) to obtain a copy on VHS/DVD for repeat personal viewing.
Of course, the key point of interest is Camp X, situated outside of Toronto - a base for training.
The book on this story is the ONLY book I've ever read cover to cover (without being 'forced' to read).
It is a favorite of mine & would like to have a copy of the film on DVD or VHS.
Can anyone advise where I may get a copy (for purchase, of course).
Many thanks/ Skipper
