The Cockleshell Heroes - 1955 - 6/10

WWII. The Wehrmacht has overrun France and controls a vital port in Bordeaux.
A small force is assembled to infiltrate and destroy.
Using canoes or kayaks.
Yes, there were many of these stories, only this one is based on true events.
Aside from one or two soldiers, most are just faces.
Two officers, José Farrer and Trevor Howard, stand out. Christopher Lee has a bit.
Music is too loud, intrusive and jaunty.
