I watched this film for the simple reason that I am a great fan of Glenn Ford and Donald Pleasence, I wouldn't have bothered otherwise. The film is watchable, in an average sort of way, but what struck me most about it was the terrible music. Music can make or break a movie, and it certainly doesn't add anything to this one. I can only describe it as being the kind of organ music that is used to accompany silent movies. I would venture to suggest that this movie, with music more appropriate to a war film, would have attracted more stars from all of the reviewers, myself included.
