Product Description

In 1943, Dave (Stephen Boyd), an officer, and Jim (Tony Wright), escape from separate prison camps and are paired together by the Resistance. They are taken to Marseilles by a fishing boat captain to wait for the right opportunity to try for England. While they wait, local woman Lise (Anna Gaylor) falls in love with Dave. He is attracted to her, but is engaged. Meanwhile, Emile Blanchard (Eugene Deckers) refers those desperate to leave France to 'Dr.' Martout (James Robertson Justice), unaware that his associate is a serial killer who grows rich from his crimes. Given an ultimatum by his displeased superiors to do something about the French Resistance, the German military commander of the city decides to evacuate and demolish the crime-infested Old Quarter, where Dave and Jim are hiding, with only two hours warning. Dave wants to wait for the fishing captain, but Jim chooses to try Dr. Martout. When the captain does show up, Dave goes to fetch Jim, and rescues him from Martout's clutches. With buildings blowing up left, right and centre, the pair prepare to make their way to freedom....

3.0 out of 5 stars Great title - What does it mean? 12 July 2012
By A. W. Wilson TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
With a title like 7 THUNDERS you do expect a bit of thud and blunder, but there isn't much of that on show here. If you have seen this before, as I have, in the cinema generations ago, you know what to expect. If you haven't ... It's quite a good WW11 Escape film with a good opening 15 mins and a daft, but good final 20 mins as our heroes try and escape a Marseilles being systematically destroyed by the Germans. In between you get a most unlikely romance between (I think miscast) Stephen Boyd, and pert but hard faced street urchin Anna Gaylor (it's never explained where she lives or how she survives!!). You also get (also miscast I feel) James Robertson Justice chewing scenery as a "doctor" helping vulnerable refugees escape to freedom, and Kathleen Harrison as a cockney living in the Marseilles slums!. Actually the cast is quite good (George Couloris,Eugene Decker, Rosalie Crutchley,Katherine Kath (particularly fun, with her brothel girls including a very young Shirley Anne Field.) It's just that the script never really convinces, and there is little suspense. However, not to be completely negative-Glad to see it on DVD from Strawberry Ent, a good b/w 4.3 print, sound levels a little bit variable but OK, and I did enjoy it, with all it's faults which are of course purely personal, and many will disagree with my opinions (perhaps?). I recomend it with reservations as noted above, and ask the question-What exactly is or are "SEVEN THUNDERS"? Answers welcome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tense WWII Thriller 15 July 2012
By Laura
Format:DVD
Great cast of colourful characters set in Marseille during WWII. Tense thriller with plenty of plot twists that kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through to the dramatic climax of the film. Well remastered film quality as well - well done Strawberry Media. Keep'em coming!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good Story 21 May 2013
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very enjoyable, but a shame there is not more action in it. Nevertheless worth adding to one's wartime collection of movies..
