I saw it when it came out and loved it. I revisited it a few years ago without high expectations and loved it again. It's an excellent film. Irene Papas and James Darren are still with us.

Excellent film. Highly entertaining in both the action and non-action moments.

Touching finale with the team members (living or dead) returning for a cinematic curtain call.

I remember enjoying it but I hardly remember a thing about it. Probably because I watched it mid-war movie binge.

One of my favorites;makes an awesome double feature with 'Where Eagles Dare'.

This is the type of film I'd not mind a reboot. It's no silly franchise installment or dumb action flick.

it's quite fun but the bit about the girl is hard to swallow - nobody thought to check if she was telling the truth? I mean really,

Yep. Good film. I usually forget about it when making my all time best war films, and all my 8/10 go on there as a rule, so I can only give it a 7/10, but I flip flop between there and 8/10. And I'm a harsh grader, so that's a very good rating.

I think the context is that every conscious second of the operation is used on progress, and not being distracted. I agree that it should have been done, but given human error, I suppose no one thought of it. Been a while, but as I recall, she claimed she was tortured, and had some mark. In fact, I think she was threatened, and she gave way to fear (or at least that's her later story). An even more likely scenario is that the first time she ever told her story, it was checked out only by one person who chose to lie for her, maybe someone not even in this movie, for whatever reason, and then it wasn't checked again.

Classic stars in a classic movie, one of those I like to watch when I've seen too many lousy movies in a row.
