简介：In the spring of 1944 an RAF Mosquito Squadron are ordered to attack a German rocket fuel plant in Norway. The mission involves flying up a heavily defended fjord and bombing a cliff overhang in an attempt to bury the factory, which is built into the rock.I bought this on DVD in a '3 for £20' offer, as I had fond memories of it from childhood, and it had been around 20 years since I last remember seeing it. I have to say that it's not nearly as good as I remembered it to be. The plot is full of cliches and there's the inevitable love interest for the lead. That said, there are points to recommend it. Cliff Robertson gives another reliable performance as the Wing Commander in charge of the squadron, and there are equally dependable turns from Harry Andrews and Donald Houston. The numerous flying sequences with the Mosquito Bombers are expertly filmed, and it's a real bonus to finally see the film in its correct 2.35:1 aspect ratio. The special effects aren't bad for 1964, and Ron Goodwin's famous score underpins the whole venture.The main problem that I have with the film is that it borrows heavily from 'The Dam Busters' in terms of plot, without ever scaling the heights (no pun intended) of that classic. It may have lush Panavision photography, better effects etc., but lacks the nail biting tension and expertly constructed drama of its predecessor. However, it's perfectly acceptable entertainment, if somewhat abrupt at the end.Was the above comment useful to you?

简介：这是一部典型美国英雄主义的影片。越战期间，许多像文森（安东尼•巴里奥 Anthony Barrile 饰）一样的怀有参战理想或各种不得不参战原因的年轻人来到了空降师，他们虽然同属一支部队，但是由于当时种族歧视盛行，部队里的气氛并不是那么和谐。这天，空降师接到了一个任务，就是攻占阿士谷937山丘。当文森所在的空降部队降落到指定地点时，他们发现防守的北越军队在这里已经整装待发。于是，一场异常艰巨的拉锯战打响了。北越军人数上占了很多优势，美军伤亡惨重，但为了完成任务，原本互相心存芥蒂的不同人种的美军士兵都抛开了以往一切成见，齐心协力一起往上攻。经过了11次的攻击，他们终于占领了937山丘。因这里已经尸横遍野，所以士兵们称之为“汉堡高地”。
