This film is obviously based on a factual battle in WW2. It manages to have mediocre acting, typical 1950's cinematography, bad writing and overall a waste of film. Cliff Robertson has a silly mustache which was the look of the '50s, and an Australian Nurse who goes the through the entire film wearing one skirt, (one wonders why she wasn't wearing pants), which never gets dirty and best of all, her hair always looks good. Keep in mind this film takes place in a POW camp. The movie needed plenty of help as it seems to me the director was involved in a good book during filming. The last thing is the fight scene. It should have been the last thing.
