3.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this, 6 Feb 2005
This review is from: Raid On Rommel [DVD] [1971] (DVD)
The main problem most people have with this film is that far too many scenes are taken from 1967's Tobruk and to be honest I agree with them. Also, we don't really find out much about most of the soldiers and therefore don't sympathise as much when they bite the dust. It's also very difficult to tell who dies and who doesn't.
However, this film does have several saving graces in my opinion. First of all, this film has several sub-plots that differ from Tobruk, so I wouldn't really call it a rip-off. The film also is quite suspenseful in places. The great Richard Burton also stars, giving the film a commanding feel and finally, having viewed and enjoyed Tobruk, I am delighted to view the great action sequences on DVD, as only Raid On Rommel is available on this format.
If, like me, you are anxiously waiting for Tobruk to be released on DVD and want something to tide you over, give this a watch and make up your own mind about it.

1.0 out of 5 stars dreadful, 6 Dec 2003
This review is from: Raid On Rommel [DVD] [1971] (DVD)
This film is a sickeningly obvious copy of 'Tobruk' starring Rock Hudson & George Peppard. So much so that some of the scenes have actually been stolen from 'Tobruk' and edited in to 'Raid on Rommel'.
One of these scenes is George Peppard with a flame thrower that has him being filmed from behind. This then pops up in 'Raid on Rommel' & for those eagle eyed viewers you would ask yourself 'I didn't know A-Teams Hannibal was in this.

Richard Burton was one of our finest actors, he must have been a bit hard up to have had any connection with this nonsense.
Avoid at all costs or if you don't wish to trust my judgement, like I always say; 'Make sure you keep the reciept'
