Dirk Bogarde was good in these light-hearted but entertaining wartime dramas, and together here with Marius Goring manages to keep this moving along well. He's a British officer on Crete who comes up with a plan to kidnap the Nazi's commanding general "Kreipe" (Goring) together with the local resistance. Quite quickly, they discover that the general isn't that well protected. Getting him is one thing, keeping him and getting him off the island is going to be something completely different though as it turns out he's quite a shrewd customer. With the soldiers combing the island to find them, we have quite a few daring escapades as this game of cat and mouse pans out. There's plenty of charisma and mischief on offer here and the plot even leaves a little wriggle room for some integrity too. It's roots are in fact and the production is all pretty standard but it's quite niftily stitched together and I enjoyed it.
