A British action adventure; A story about Allied PoWs incarcerated on a Greek island who plan to break out of prison and pull off an art robbery with the help of their liberal-minded Austrian camp commandant.
This 'Stalag 17' style P.O.W. action adventure is feeble on jokes and lacking suspense but it is packaged with some pleasing elements. A joke cameo appearance from William Holden early on prepares us for not-so-serious light entertainment, yet there are some serious moments which make it feel a little uneven. It is beautifully shot with a stellar cast and there is a fabulous motorcycle chase through the narrow streets of Rhodes. One of the main criticisms of the film is that with no obvious lead role it has a disjointed feel. All in all, it's mild Sunday afternoon fun.
score 5/10
