Okay, let me explain my above comment. On the cover art for the video and on many of the posters, you have images of George Peppard AND Sophia Loren. Now I am a fan of Ms. Loren's films and have nothing against her performance in this film, but she is only a minor character. She enters a scene and is dead a short time later--and that's about the size of her contribution to the movie. The advertising folks for this film should be shot, as if you are watching the movie for her, you'll be very disappointed.
Now on to the movie itself, despite the advertising, this is a war espionage film--not a romance. It's about as romantic as THE LONGEST DAY, in fact. Nope--definitely not a romance. Instead it's a film about Allied agents infiltrating the V-1/V-2 bases at Penemunde. And in this light, it is a very successful and engaging film--very similar to THE HEROES OF TELMARK and other 60s epic war flicks. In fact, it's better than Peppard's more famous war film, THE BLUE MAX, because it is NOT bogged down with a sappy romance and is pure wartime entertainment.
