I found this movie when I was seeing if I had missed any Jenny Agutter movies. Her role here isn't large, she plays an "almost 19" girl in the small English community and probably wasn't necessary. But it was still fun seeing her.
The movie starts with a real newsreel from 1943, during WW2, when Hitler sent a rescue party to get Mussolini. That really did happen.
The premise of this movie is that Hitler decided he wanted to kidnap England's Prime Minister, and key to their war effort, Winston Churchill. The directive was just for an inquiry, to see if it were feasible, but the German officer took off and ran with it.
The movie is very interesting both for its concept, and the several big-name movie stars of the time. I viewed it on Blu-Ray from my public library and the video is very nice for a movie filmed almost 50 years ago.
