Hmmm… pretty lame. I like to watch as many WWII movies as I can. This was a bit of a stretch.
An Italian ‘macaroni combat’ movie, the WWII equivalent of ‘spaghetti westerns’, I guess. Directed by ‘Frank Kramer’ (Gianfranco Parolini), with a mostly Italian cast and crew.
Dubbed into English, which as ever makes it disembodied and weird. The biggest name familiar to me is Klaus Kinski as an SS officer . There’s also an English actress, the extremely gorgeous Margaret Lee, who made her career in Italy.
There’s no point synopsising the plot. And the whole tenor of the movie is – to contemporary eyes, strange. The music, and even a fair bit of the action, are somewhat tongue in cheek.
I’ll prob’ watch the whole thing, I s’pose, so I can tick it off my ‘list’. But it’s an hour and a half I won’t be getting back. Can’t say I’d recommend this one…
