Off hand I can't think of a single plus point for this one other than the appearance of Gerard Oury in a supporting role. Oury continued to act throughout his life, long after he had added writing and directing to his repertoire and at least the scenes he is in here are watchable. Pretty-boy Dirk Bogarde turns in another Rank Charm School performance and leads the over-acting, encouraging the likes of Eric Pohlman, Denholm Elliot and Sam Kydd to go OTT. It's difficult to imagine that a plot like this - small team of commandos sent to Rhodes to blow up a couple of airfields - had any mileage left in it by 1954, unless you lavished more than a stick of gum on the budget and thought in terms of Guns Of Navarone. Even as a freebie with a daily newspaper it's not worth the price of admission.
