i saw this film when it be first release and with it all star cast and the line be a block long at the 41st street sheridan theater on miami beach . the acting be out standing and but the story plot seem sort of unrealistic . the film however be steal by tom courtenay a a reluctant war hero . courtenay give a brooding and emotional and sole search performance of a simple man catch up in the madness and terror of world war ii . the story line just go off in two many different direction represent serial killer and murder mystery and plot to kill hitler and madness and love story and the horror of war and hero worship and and survival . if youre a fan of tom courtenay this be a must see . if youre not and rent another film .
