4.0 out of 5 stars Well-loved WW2 silliness, 3 Feb 2008
By Withnail67 (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
I have a huge soft spot for this film, which I went to see as a 9th birthday treat. The original Jack Higgins book is desperately unlikely, and probably stems from some theoretical research into possible commando raids rather than the superbly melodramatic discovery of a hidden gravestone...

Anyway, this is great WW2 hokum with a great cast and director who keep a firm grasp of their jobs all the way through some outrageous lines...Caine as the steely eyed German (not Nazi) para; a chilling Himmler played to perfection by Donald Pleasance; Donald Sutherland as the animal taming member of the 'OiRA'; Jean Marsh as the sleeper agent; my favourite Larry Hagman as a Ranger Colonel... great stuff. There is a well-choreographed shootout too, and you do root for the Germans on more than one occasion.

Great beer movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good old fashioned war movie., 4 Mar 2009
A good old fashioned advanture / war movie.
Some of the order of events has been altered to accomadate a story line but this is fiction not history.

It departs from J.H's book in several places and you et the idea that it has been cut short and that if being made again some gaps might have been better filled.
All said and done it is a good show.
