This is a little known WWII spy drama that has a solid plot, subtle imagery, and a very talented cast. James Garner excels as a captured US Major and Rod Taylor manages to convince us he's a German officer even though he speaks educated English through most of the movie. The smallest detail takes on big meaning in this movie and you'll need to watch it twice before you catch on. Fantastic, we've watched it 3 times and are eager to see it again!

Great, great movie. John Banner (Schultz in "Hogan's Heroes") nearly steals the end of the film.

A nice little drama with the "What if" story. What if a key member of planning D-Day was snatched? Almost feels like it could have happened. Hard to believe plot twists mixed with plausable ones make for a fun and enjoyable movie.

Good experience. I remember watching this movie as a kid and talking with my parents about it. I tried to find it and located it here on Amazon very quickly. The movie is in good quality and I am pleased to have it in our collection since we are WWII buffs.
Thanks!

Please note: The two stars above do not indicate my verdict on the film itself, but rather the odd transfer to DVD provided by the folks at Warner Home Video. For most of the running time this DVD looks just fine, with a good grey scale, fine contrast and a sharp image. Thankfully, white speckles are also quite absent, which is certainly not always the case when it comes to transfers of classic product from Warner.
But in almost all of the darker scenes throughout the film, the focus goes way off, especially damaging in the right half of the screen. And when it comes to the final escape sequence with Garner and Saint, this irritating double contour softness continues for half a reel or so, effectively ruining much of the suspense.
If this problem is a defect that exists on all surviving materials in the film vaults, then Warner should have had the decency to warn potential consumers with at least a sticker on the cover. But my guess is that this blurry jinx could have been corrected with some proper quality attention before the discs were made and distributed. If Warner have the guts and will, they ought to recall this DVD pronto before its domestic street date on June 5, and make a hopefully new transfer available as soon as possible.
