This film isn't bad.
It tells of a mission to destroy a Nazi rocket installation. George Peppard and Jeremy Kemp are the two men who get inside and manage to find a way to open the rocket launching doors to mark the position of the installation for Allied bombers. Although I think they both put in good performances I preferred them in The Blue Max made just after this. Anthony Quayle is also good as a Nazi. Tom Courteney bravely holds out under torture from Quayle and his thugs and ends up getting shot without revealing any information. Sophia Loren doesn't have much of a part but she is good as the ex wife of the character Peppard is pretending to be. She also surprisingly gets shot by Lilli Palmer because although Peppard thought he had found a way to save her Palmer knows that the mission is too important and too many peoples lives depend on it to be able to trust Loren.
The final part of the film is tense where Peppard and Kemp have to open the doors to mark the position of the installation for the bombers.
This has a star studded cast. As well as those already mentioned there are Richard Todd, Richard Johnson, Trevor Howard, John Mills and Sylvia Syms amongst others.
Not the greatest film but certainly not bad and it shows how the Allies managed to lessen the threat of the V1 and V2 terror weapons launched against England.
