Attenborough gets top billing, but this is more the film of John Gregson and Michael Craig - two officers leading a rag tag and permanently grumbling team of soldiers into the desert to disrupt Rommel's supply lines during the North African campaign. There are some good scenes of espionage, close quarters combat and self sacrifice as the squad shrinks truck by truck and man by man as they struggle to bring the essential information they've uncovered back to base. No classic, but very watchable. 11 years 6 months ago
