Viewing Notes

Didn’t realized this was a Roger Corman helmed flick until I fired it up (wasn’t aware he directed war films or I just forgot). This is one of the titles on the New Bev July schedule tied to OUATIH and I suppose the connection here is infiltrating a nazi base for a rescue mission a la Rick Dalton in “The 14 Fists of McClusky” seen in the film.

I was down w/the premise (get a group of criminals together for this mission) and was with it most of the way until the final act. Still a decent watch for the cast and Corman.
