A very good film. What's interesting is that even though Michael Winner is Jewish, he shows in this film that not all Germans in WW2 were bad, such as the German doctor who helps Brooks, the Austrian soldier who becomes Brooks' friend (I felt sad when he was killed) and the understanding German general played by Wolfgang Preiss.
Thanks for posting. Wold love to get a copy. I remember watching this as a young lad round my grandads one Christmas in the early seventies. Brings back great memories of happy times - Read and Pollard - what genius complimentary casting.

At the beginning of the film, it looks like Hannibal Brooks and his comrades have been captured by the Nazis in Italy.

A lot of people relate Micheal Winner with stupid car insurance adverts but in his day he produced some wonderful films such as this.

This soundtrack is just superb, it's quite difficult in terms of tempo change and arrangement, just shows how much of a genius lai is.
