What a waste of a fantastic story.
The above reviews explain the flaws of this film perfectly :you just don`t believe any of it!I`m reminded of another remarkable story of WW2 released in the uk a few years ago,supposedly based on truth, where two British dentists decide to sail across to France after Dunkirk & start a mini war:played for laughs like Triple Cross & totally ruined!
If anybody cares there is a uk dvd release on the cheapie Prism label which is the cut 120m version -widescreen ratio is approx 1.50:1 although it states incorrectly on the box 4:3(1.33:1).The German rg2 is the better buy as it`s full length & correct widescreen 1.66:1.-w/ English audio.
