Led the way for future films??
I saw this one today and I was very surprised by the film. Not only does it have a theme reminiscent of the later Dirty Dozen, but there’s a scene towards the beginning that smacks of the Guns of Naverone. The casting is surprisingly top notch and I was overall pleased with the entire film. Stewart Granger is Good as the troubled British officer out for revenge. I loved Mickey Rooney, who seemed to be having the time of his life as an IRA demolition expert. The other members of the cast rounded out an almost perfect ensemble with notable mention to William Campbell & Edd Byrne. The only thing I found odd about this film was the speed at which the actors found themselves on their secret mission. It seemed within 20 minutes they were introduced, trained, and already in enemy waters. Other than that, it was a solid WW2 movie with plenty of action! I HIGHLY recommend it.
Not very compelling
A bunch of convicts are given a government pardon and sent into the US army to complete a dangerous mission in the thick of WWII. Stewart Granger is in command, and he has no patience for the ruffians’ behavior. He’d rather be in charge of a better bunch, and with such a dangerous mission, he can only hope everyone pulls together and serves their country. Raf Vallone, Mickey Rooney, Henry Silva, Edd Byrnes, and Peter Coe are the convicts, and as they’re sent to Italy, they meet up with Mia Massini, a widow with a newborn baby.I’ve seen lots of 1960s WWII movies, and this one wasn’t really that great. There’s a fair amount of suspense and violence, but it’s just not particularly compelling. None of the characters are very likable, and when you’re dealing with a group of people who have nothing to lose, it’s better if the audience hopes they don’t lose it. Unless you really love the cast, you might want to try something else, or better yet, a WWII movie that was made at the time. Those are the best, since they were made with the frightening feeling of uncertainty. Check out They Were Expendable for a movie about people in a hopeless situation.
