see this movie after many since it hit the screen and i can only say that i be glad i do not pay to go and see it in the cinema catch it on a free dvd recently . the plot hole be so large to be laughable . be there a war on in norfolk . only bit i saw be an old mine warning on a beach that be too hilly and rocky to be norfolk and let alone the lack of plane go overhead . the act bear no scrutiny accent wobble leave right and centre and or downright awful a in sutherland case . he be to repeat this role in another awful adaptation of ken follett . michael caine be in his prime in look but at the depth of his act capability . lew grade be try to make world class film at the time and but this one like his legionnaire film be an utter disaster . a re run of go the day well in the middle do not match the early wartime movie . and poor john sturges what an end to a career . a director . and i be still look for the marsh that sutherland be suppose to be warden of . yes and tom your valkyrie be a decidedly well attempt at good german than this long forgotten puerile rubbish .
