I had expected this to be better than it was, it wasn't terrible but with a bit more effort it could have been a lot better. I would have liked to have seen the big battle on screen and not off it with wounded partisans being recovered and treated. Dirk Bogarde was miscast as he is too much of a lightweight actor to be playing a tough fighter.
I did manage to spot David McCallum and John Cairney, I recognised David's voice as he was hard to make out on screen. France did look like Crete and I though that it had been filmed in Crete.
It's well worth watching but to expect too much of it or a lot of combat, they were trying to sneak away so this will account for the lack of action scenes. A bit unusual for there to be no love interest for any of the characters.
