A memorably classic film with a deftly chosen star cast,breathtaking outdoor shooting,crisp screenplay,outstanding direction and most of all a story line to grip one to the end.The big three,Peck,Niven and Quinn stand out off course but i believe the British actors like Hawkins,Baker,Quayle etc are far more convincing.Irene Papas is superb.Gia Scala is the weak link in the story.As in many allied WW2 films the Germans are made to look fools,just like the Red Indians in western films!The film rolls out exceptionally well and keep the viewers in vice like suspense.The action is captured very realistically but i believe there was more to this great war feat then is shown here.I just can't accept that the Germans can be fooled so easily.Anyways this should not deter one from a fantastic war film in which the viewer sometimes feels is a part of the whole drama!Remotely unknown these days to find such clean-cut pure adventure films these days.A classic for eternity.
