Plot
Drama set in an Italian prisoner of war camp during World War 2, where a group of British soldiers find their plans for escape thwarted by a mysterious traitor in their midst.
Sinekatalog’s take
A prison-camp escape drama undermined by the question of who among the prisoners is a traitor. It mixes suspense and dry wit, a satisfying pick for classic war-movie fans.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
