Directed by J. Lee Thompson in 1961 based on Alistair MacLean's 1957 novel, which was inspired by the Battle of Leros during the Dodecanese Campaign of World War II, this British-American war-time drama depicts the efforts of an Allied commando unit to destroy a seemingly impregnable German fortress that threatens Allied naval ships in the Aegean Sea. With a well-crafted screenplay, this film turns out a fascinating entertaining piece packed with actions and thrills. I enjoyed it to the hilt.
