With a terrific international cast and estimable effects, this fast-paced thriller about spies infiltrating a German rocket installation is sharp, and though powerful of the antics are astounding, especially in the final sequence, it does have a historical context to it. There was an Operation Crossbow, when Winston Churchill (well played by Patrick Wyman) was concerned about what misslies and rockets the Nazis were making.
The V-1 “Buzz Bomb” was a nightmare for those living in London in the summer of ‘44, and perhaps the most absorbing fraction of the film is its depiction of London being hit with these dreaded missiles, with some unbelievable cinematography by Erwin Hillier.
George Peppard is a tranquil peep, and does many scenes speaking German, though he looks 100% American, perhaps because of the hat he wears pushed wait on on his head, which would have been a givaway had he really been in enemy territory.

Richard Johnson is fantastic as Duncan Sandys, who believes action is imperative and that “in war, decisions almost always have to be made on incomplete knowledge; if you wait until you’re determined, you’re certain to be too unhurried”, and goes against Trevor Howard as Professor Linderman, who is not convinced that the residence is serious, or even exists.
(Duncan Sandys was Churchill’s son-in-law, and not a very favorite fellow with the RAF, because he view the future of air warfare was in missiles and rockets, and not in manned flight) .

Other good actors are Sophia Loren looking shapely, Tom Courtenay, John Mills, Jeremy Kemp, Anthony Quayle, Richard Todd, and Lilli Palmer beneficial as a resistance worker in Holland.
The film has a obvious stylish slickness that it probably owes to the popularity of the James Bond films in the early ’60s, and in the Bond tradition has many fine ladies in all levels of the work force (even as a German engineer/test pilot) and lots and lots of action. A film that almost makes it to 5 stars but unprejudiced misses the impress, it serene makes blooming viewing, with some history (though a limited jumbled) thrown in for great measure.
Total running time is 115 minutes.

This curious war drama places stars George Peppard and John Mills as trained sabatuers in an underground factory where V-1 and V-2 “Buzz-bomb” rockets were being manufactured in Germany during world war II. This titillating drama is as suspensefull as it is realistic. Their mission is to kill Hitler’s ability to manfacture those awful incendiary rockets which were terrorizing London during the latter stages of the war. Sophia Loren, thinking her husband already monotonous, discovers George Peppard impersonating him, and the action accelerates from there. This movie has it all, romance, gigantic suspense and special effects as well as a thrilling climax. Several scenes are in German with English subtitles, and as a high school German teacher, I found this a sterling addition to the film. This movie has feeble well since its release in 1965. Give it a try.
