Alfred Werker is definitely a director whose second part of career is really worth watching; maybe less concerning the first part, when he seemed to search his own way. But his westerns, crime dramas and this war film are for me at the level of a Don Siegel, Phil Karlson or any other action film director from Hollywood. Maybe Robert Wise or Richard Fleischer. That said, this war drama is really riveting, above average of this period. I forgot that it was produced by RKO pictures, I saw it a long time ago and I am happy to find it again in my library. It is tense, taut, fast paced, an underrated gem for me. I hope many moviegoers will find it too.
