Perhaps the best "anti-war" and pro- bravery film of all time. It shows the awful futility brought about by battle plans which apparently consisted of no alternative plans A ,B, or C, when the Allies were stalled by much stronger opposition from the Germans than were expected. The risks were far outweighed by the consequences, being stymied in Holland until the end of the war eight months later. Great performances by Bogarde, Olivier,Caine and Fox.
