A French town in the middle of the mountains is surrounded by a small troop of Nazis, and the villagers are afraid to stand up to them until a Canadian pilot (Vincent Ball) parachutes into their midst. Energizing the younger villagers and more courageous older men (as well as a few women), he convinces them to stage a rebellion, and finds obstacles in the form of the town elder Cruz motive seems suspicious.
A very pleasing war movie from UK, written by Brian Clemens - the famous screen writer already guilty of dozens of thrillers and TV shows such as THE AVENGERS - and produced by the Dantzigers Borthers. And there are many films from him I don't know about, as you can guess.
You wouldn't think that a 59-minute second feature could be padded, but this one about Vincent Ball, a Canadian flyer whose plane is shot down in Alsace during the Second World War and leads the complacent villagers in fighting the Germans, who have been leaving them alone, is boringly so. Mostly it's about people telling others things, again and again.
