| Description: |
Triple bill of WWII war films. In 'Anzio' (1968), American war correspondent Dick Ennis (Robert Mitchum) lands with the Allied forces at Anzio, comandeers a jeep, and drives all the way to Rome and back without encountering the enemy. When he reports this to the commanding officer, he learns that the Allies intend to build a beach stronghold before pressing on to Rome. However, this delay gives the German forces time to build their strength, and soon the Allies finds themselves trapped on the beachead, engaged in a ferocious confrontation which will go down in history as one of the bloodiest battles of the Second World War. In 'Cockleshell Heroes' (1955), ten marines are trained for a sabotage mission. Whipped into shape by a no-nonsense Sergeant Major, the men are charged with destroying a number of giant German battleships in the harbour at Bordeaux, a mission they will carry out by entering the harbour in canoes and attaching limpet mines to the vessels. Facing almost impossible odds, the men demonstrate their resolve, and pursue their task with great courage. Finally, in 'The Night of the Generals' (1967), a prostitute is brutally murdered in Warsaw, and it is rumoured that a German General is the man responsible. A special investigator (Omar Sharif) is called in to clear up the controversy, and narrows the suspects down to three high-ranking Nazi officers: Tanz (Peter O'Toole), Kahlenberge (Donald Pleasence), and Von Seidlitz-Gabler (Charles Gray). However, it will take many years, and the occurrence of another murder, before the killer is unmasked. |
