Synopsis:
1942, North Africa: a British intelligence officer commandeers some former POWs to undertake a sabotage mission inside Tobruk disguised as Africa Korps.
Review:
Strictly by numbers actioner, one of a handful of films Burton found himself agreeing to do on the basis of his success with Where Eagles Dare. This one even reuses second unit footage from Tobruk (1967).
