Commercial cinema not history – it barely mentions the brave rearguard action to protect the perimeter which enabled so many to escape or why the Germans were so ineffective. The plus is the stunning aerial action produced by the special effects team.
It is one of those hard to dislike films. The later scenes seem a bit rushed and a few corners cut – you get the impression the production was running out of money.
Audrey is well cast and so are the supporting players. There are some delightful comedic moments sprinkled throughout the screenplay which although it gets a bit hurried toward the end for the most part is well written. Has a classic theme tune.
