NOTES |
Adventure
set in WWII from a novel by Jack Higgins and very much in that
mould. A group of German paratroopers land in a small English
village in a plot to kidnap Winston Churchill. The Germans are led
by Michael Caine and Robert Duvall and aided by an Irish IRA man
played with an awful accent by Donald Sutherland. Duvall's character
has a patch over one eye and a glove on (only) his left hand. I
think these characteristics are to explain more why he isn't at the
East front rather than make him look villainous. Caine plays a good
German who was in the process of being court-martialled for helping
Jews.
Not so good as the cast and director would have you anticipate. |
