Featured review
Despite some negative reviews of this film I actually think this is one of the more enjoyable war films . It features a rare sinister role for the always excellent James Robertson Justice who plays Dr Martout, a real life mass murderer and Doctor who was hanged for his crimes. It's probable that he never plied his trade in helping people escape the Nazi's in Marseille where the film is set as he spent most of the war in Paris. The film features good performances from Stephen Boyd, Tony Wright and Anna Gaylor as the love interest of Boyd. The film manages to be involving and exciting in parts and all in all I think it's well worth watching.
