World War II adventure film about a Royal Air Force fighter-bomber squadron assigned to demolish a Nazi nuclear weapons research facility in Norway. Cliff Robertson headlines the movie as a frail Eagle Squadron pilot in screech of 633 Squadron with a smart assembly of international pilots. They embark on the dangerous assignment with the target located inside a Norwegian fjord, guarded by an stout array of anti-aircraft artillery. Worth noting is the record was probably inspired by the real-life exploits of RAF Mosquito squadrons that conducted such unsafe missions, hunting down Nazi ship convoys along Norway’s rugged coastline.
The dependable attraction of this film is abundant footage of authentic World War II-era De Havilland Mosquito bombers stale for the movie production. The scenes of these rare aircraft in flight are a delight, especially since there the are no airworthy examples left in the entire world today (the last one was lost with its crew in a tragic fracture in 1996) . The model airplane special effects are too distinct, especially when compared to the quality of “The Bridges of Toko Ri” starring William Holden. Nonetheless, it’s serene fair arresting and viewers can’t succor but compare the squadron’s climatic attack in the treacherous fjord with “Star War’s” Jedi attack on the Empire’s Death Star.
The script and several scenes could have been better, but the authentic aircraft are worth watching. Overall a decent adventure, dated, but exquisite if you’re a fan of the well-known De Havilland Mosquito fighter-bomber built of wood, and flown by pilots in fearless missions that helped regain World War II.

For those keen, there’s a nice De Havilland aircraft museum north of London, England, on the precise grounds where these impressive aircraft were built. The current prototype Mosquito airplane, and another production model old-fashioned in the later movie “Mosquito,” are on expose.
This film seems to have attracted a number of intriguing, sure reviews–there is dinky for me to add except to say that is is a sparkling World War II thriller, featuring Cliff Robertson, George Chakiris and a solid British cast in back.
Of course, the true “stars” of the movie are the Mosquitos–seeing them flee is a feast for aviation fans. Some scenes really seem to build you in the cockpit with our heroes as they sigh for their “mission impossible”. There is also a graceful bit of model work interested, and this is perhaps the only status of the movie that is dated. Special effects have made vast strides since the sixties–when these planes shatter or blow up, it is not done in a convincing procedure for unusual audiences.
Cliff Robertson is fair in the lead–later in the decade, he was to earn an Oscar for “Charly”, yet he has always been under-rated. His career certainly had it’s “ups and downs”–in the seventies, he blew the whistle on a Hollywood executive who was embezzling money, and top-notch movie roles seemed to “elude” him for a while. Clearly, he is a man of broad integrity. It was nice to leer him, after so many years, have an notable role in the monster hit, “Spiderman”.

George Chakiris aquits himself well as a Norwegian resistance leader. British character actors, Harry Andrews and Donald Houston, provide the mandatory “stiff upper lips”! When the movie is over though, it is those wonderful planes that you remember most.
The DVD is widescreen, with decent colour for its age–the sound is mono ( imagine those Mosquitos in surround? ! ) . The packaging is very rudimentary, but I command this is in keeping with the vulgar heed?
If you like war films with the accent on aviation, this one is for you. Try it!
