Peter finch. Period piece. Britain's mission is to get the valuable diamonds out of amsterdam before the germans can take them. And turn them into tanks, gasoline, weapons. World war two drama, with lots of suspense, as the team works to get the precious cargo back to england. But they will need the help of anna, a local, to get around town. Some heavy hitters in this...finch won the oscar for network. Alex knox was oscar nominated, and tony britton was nominated for a bafta. It's pretty good. Not perfect, but good suspense! Directed by michael mccarthy, who died so young at 42. He passed away just a couple months after this was released! Based on the book by david walker... had two films made from his works.
