I remember seeing this movie as a kid, one of the umpteen B&W WWII movies that were shown as late night TV movies. As our TV was B&W then, it fit right in.
I just watched it again last night, this time on DVD. A very good period film, proving that Hollywood's current obsession with overpaid superstars and overwrought CGI special effects is no way to make a decent film.
I want to thank Fox for releasing this and several other older films as part of their FOX WAR CLASSICS on DVD, where the picture and sound are for the most part excellent, and at a reasonable price. Most of these films will never be digitally restored, so these budget DVDs are a great way to enjoy them.
