Hello Hollywood producers and directors! How have you all missed out on this material for a superb old-fashined-war-hero-film? Talk about heroes and heroism, and it's real!!! You couldn't come up with a better story if you tried, no matter how much imagination you have. It's certainly a film I wouldn't miss if it was made the right way. That is like war-films were made in the 60-70's, you know like "Where Eagles Dare" and "The Guns Of Navarone" and so on.
shareMight wanna try looking up the movie Gift Horse dude...
I wonder when their putting this on dvd? It deserves it! 'Jeremy Clarkson: Greatest Raid of All Time' i mean!

Oh dear God NO! The last thing the world needs is yet more Hollywood revisionism of history! If a Hollywood production based on this was made, I'd bet my life savings that there would, at best, be 3 British soldiers included entirely for comic relief, and the rest of the raiders would be battle hardened all American gum chewing GIs who spout one-liners while bayoneting out some Nazi's guts and who say things like "We were given a mission and WE WILL FINISH IT GOD DAMNIT!", probably while a burning American flag flaps in the background and a stirring rendition of When Johnny Comes Marching Home plays in the sound track. Bonus points if there's a rookie on the team for whom this is their first time out, only to have his chest opened by gunfire in the final moments of the raid and die in the arms of his best friend while clutching a blood spattered photo of his loving wife and child.
I'd love to see a well made movie of this too, but on now account should anyone in Hollywood be allowed to make it!
